Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 18d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 19/06/06 12:03 PM Share Posted 19/06/06 12:03 PM I am not going to tell you how to do it as a AFR gauge needs to be connected to a Pyro sensor that is welded and tapped into the exhaust manifold. the volt gauge can be attached to any + and - in the car, but a direct connection tot he battery is the best.By the way both gauges are totally useless and will not give you any valid data. I would go and get oil temp or pressure and boost.

I am running an N/A XR6 so boost is out of the question but I will get an oil pressure gauge as well.

You should be able to see it on the drivers side near the firewall.
