Been toying with the idea of fitting the above and at last i have, and my god it wasnt as bad as what you think when you get a few decent people to help (you know who you are) ;)

Here's some pictures and the route of the vac cable etc and some questions!!

This is the route i took for the cables to go onto the car through the bulkhead

I thought this might be a good idea as to avoid all the heat issues with turbo etc just drilled a small hole and came out of side!!

Picture of it all fitted, will do night pics tonight!! obviously [B)]

And you can see them in daylight quite nicely!

This is my question on the oil temp gauge there is 3 wires red, black, and green, now i have earthed the black one so what now with the red and green anyone?? both gauges light up well when ignition is on and dim also etc just these last 2 wires are bugging me, and also on the oil sender there is also 2 wires a black and a white as you'll see, any ideas would be really grateful!!

Took for test drive and boost gauge works nicely, peaked at about 16psi or so and leveled out at about 13-14psi which i think is normal considering what i have seen!!

Looks very good Stretch! :D I can be of no use to you at all when it comes to the wiring though.

I hope this helps :lol:

This is the diagram that comes with the oil temp, now in the diagram it shows the sender having only one point in which to attach your cable to so basically unscrew and screw cable in, if you compare the drawing to what i have it seems as though i have the wrong part. Also the wiring i presume, b. which is the green goes to the sender, a. which is black is earth, and c. which is red looks like it goes to the ignition, i presume thats a key in a key lock?? what you think guys??

i would put the red wire to any switched 12v supply. Make sure you dont attach it to a constant feed as it will be lit up all the time!!!
