Hey I brought 3 gauges oil temp, oil pressure and boost for my xr6t and planning to install them this weekend with help from my cousin who is a auto electrician apprentice and wonder what attachments u recommend me buying to make it easy to connect the gauges are OZegauge.

Also would some1 be able to give me links to walkthru's for installing them and also how to remove the ICC to be able to install the gauges

Also I heard from my cousin that if the ICC gets disconected u have to get it reprogramed by ford at a high price

Hope u guys can help

Thanx

A good coathanger = no ICC removal. Worked a treat. Other than that the Ozegauge site has good walkthrus..

Not true.

I've had my ICC out twice now and it didn't need programming...

Call Craig at Aussie Car Enhancements and order a sandwich plate, which fits in between the block and the oil filter. The plate will house the senders for the oil pressure and temp in an ideal location as it puts the senders in the main oil flow for accurate readings.

As for the other bits you might need...

Electrical tape, wire crimps, zip ties, odds and ends basically.

I took the ICC out to fit my 3 Ozegauges. Yes, you can do it without removing the ICC but if you know what you are doing then you can have the ICC out in 5 minutes.

Check that the supplied T piece for the boost gauge isn't blocked. Mine was filled with plastic from the moulding process. It could be easily drilled out but I replaced it because I have T pieces at work, so I just grabbed one of those.
