I hope to have them released this week or next at the latest. I just need the decals for the sides and that is it. Everything else is there. We will offer packages of two gauges and also Singles like what Scott48 has above. My apologies of course for the delay!

PM me with your contact info and I will add you to the list to call . e-mail when ready.

Thanks again!

Stick on. Scott doesn't have them either. They also have a VERY small ALTA engraved in the base, so you can't see it other than for identification purposes. Let me know !

For boost you need to tap into some sort of boost source, like where the map sensor is, which is what I did. Then the sensor hooks up to the gauge; simple install.

Different sensor! The EU models have a MAP sensor like the US models, but no MAF sensor. Your gauges would connect just like Scott said above. The kit will include the output needed to go to the gauges.

VERY easy to install!

I have no clue....the biggest thing would be when am I free to be able to do it, as I am typically extremely busy......was there any specific area of the install you were questioning(wiring, routing thru firewall,etc.) or the entire thing?

ALTA,

will you sell your kit with the option for just the boost gauge, (and not the other one), like we're seeing in scott 48's pictures? I think that looks great, and all I really want is the boost gauge...

+1. Need something to hold me over while I'm waiting for you all to come out with a PnP ECU for the auto trans! Oh and turbo-back exhaust is being installed before the end of this month.

Just when I thought I was done spending money....
Great way to monitor the amount of boost the PnP adds.
Looks good Scott. Look even better at 20 lbs of boost.

Sorry we have been running behind. I have everything for the non-boost gauges ready to go. But the little standoff block thingy for the map sensor is taking longer than expected. Scott48 used another option with his as he was anxious.

So EGT, Water Temp and Oil Temp are all ready to go now. Boost ASAP. I was waiting to put them on the website until I had everything ready.

Sorry for the delay, not trying to be a PITA but it seems I turn that way in many cases!

So I couldn't watch from the sideline anymore: I hunkered down and bought a Boost Gauge and Cat-Back today. I'm wicked exited!!! Should have the gauge by the weekend, and the exhaust soon after. This thread made me believe I could install the gauge, so I guess we'll find out. Thanks to Alta for your help!

I can't wait!!!

Well, I have installed and got the boost gauge into the cabin. Have not finalized the install yet as my Gauge pod should be arriving anyday now (Gauge is functional on the cupholder till then). I did not have any instructions so kinda improvised along the way. I did not have any problems in regards to the cowl, I found that it did not need to fully be removed, just loosened it, was able to get a hand in and the gromet to get to the cabin was accessible from there.
