Here is a link to ICC removal http://www.fordmods.com/documents.php?d=94 Here are the various picture I have taken just now. Boost gauge connector. Looking at it from the driver's seat. Above view. Idling. Oops they fell out. Close up. Dash piece removed. Melted and tek screwed gauge pod. I should have screwed both (hehehe) cos the other one falls out occasionally. I have new ones so I should probably just fit them instead. A bit of filing for the piping and wiring. Filing from a different angle. Swarf kept for posterity. Some motivation So yeah you pretty much just stuff the boost gauge pipe through the dash and hook it up. The oil gauge needs extra fittings and wiring extended as per our pm's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No punception intended. I don't need my boost gauge to be accurate, I just need it to roughly let me know what's going on. For me it's just a tuning tool and will be removed once I arrive at my final tune (if that ever happens). Same with the wideband. I had a cheap boost gauge on another car that was already installed when I bought it. Apparently the car made 2psi when it was switched off. On 12/1/2016 at 1:36 PM, Puffwagon said: You will definitely need an afr gauge for road tuning. A boost gauge is helpful in this scenario too. Those are the only two I have installed. Aside from that nothing else is necessary. Just chuck in whatever you want to keep an eye on or use nothing at all. If gauges were necessary or helpful to the average consumer then the manufacturers would have installed them from factory. Imo I'd use them for tuning or not at all.

With a tuned car you definitely want oil pressure and boost as a minimum. The best gauges have visual and audible warnings and memory recall.
