ok so i just joined the nico site. a few weeks ago i order the triple gauge pod from glowshift. i got a oil pressure gauge, boost gauge, and water temp gauge. ive had my sr20det swap for about 2 months now. i need some help on hookin up the water temp and boost, i know how to do the oil pressure. there prolly is a forum already out there i just cant find it. could someone please tell me how to install these 3 gauges, pics would help alot, or maybe someone can give me a link to the forum.

now thats not a bad question. There are differing opinions on this but the most common is to tee off your FPR

Yea just cut it and tee it and your done. I have two off mine. one for my boost gauge and one for my boost controller. Ive read that this is bad but the alternatives are just as bad and i dont get that logic so it works for me.

and with the water temp gauge, the stock one in the dash goes up to half way when it warms up then stops there, it wont go any higher, thats how i muffed up my KA bc it ran hot and i didnt know it until it was to late, the dash was still reading half. thats why i really want that water temp in too bc i dont want that to happen to my SR

They are still gonna be wired to the same temp sensor therefore if one fails they both fail
