Jcw gauge kit install

Hi guys,


Have done a few searches and can't find any instructions on how to install the jcw gauges. I'm considering buying them, but don't want to pay the hefty cost to have them fitted at a dealer.

I love in sydney Australia and everything mini is a hella lot more expensive here than the states or the UK.

Thanks

Dane

Thanks for that mate!


Hmmmmm looks like it might be a little much for a DIY. Anyone done it themselves?

I have installed a boost gauge from alta, not the jcw gauge set. What gauges is in the set? You have to place whatever sensors in the engine bay and run wires from the sensor through the firewall and lower dash to the gauge. Then you have to remove the center console, the whole thing to get to the cigarette lighter for a power source. For the one gauge it took me about 2 hours, but I could probably do it in less time now.

For directions alta has a good write up on their website under the gauge itself, that's what I used
