making a few upgrades in the next few weels...

A couple new gauges to go with finally getting my tune done right!


Had this for a while just been too lazy to pull the gauge cluster...


And yet another new grille! I think this makes 5, maybe 6.

I'm gonna find out and I'll let ya know! Looking at the notes from US Speedo, I'm guessing about 1 1/2 hours. Mostly getting it out and back in.

Good Choice on the AEM's, i think they look great. Where do you plan on mounting the gauges? I'm in the process of Supercharging so the gauges are not hooked up, but went ahead and test fit the Boost gauge in my Steering Column gauge pod. Let me know how the cluster gauge face goes for ya, i've had one sittin here for a while too, just don't feel like taking the dash apart yet

I've got my current boost gauge in a chrome pod to the left of the hump from the gauge cluster. Plenty of room to add another.

Nope, aftermarket bought off ebay. I really like it because it has that stock feel to it.

ah, great idea. i just noticed a clearance issue with mine ( steering wheel hits the trim ring on the gauge when turning ) ... looks like i might jack your idea on the gauge placement
