Skate, I have a few of those gauges too.

Boost: tapped a hole in the intake (Blitz SC) and made connection there. Line is a small dia. tube (make sure no kinks in line - I had a problem with mine at first).

A/F Ratio: ? not sure don't have one

Voltage: simple wire to battery/power

Oil Temp & Oil Press.: I got an alum. block fitting that fits between the block and oil filter that has multiple ports to connect gauges to. AEM or Blitz I think and got it from local speed shop (RZ Motoring, Tampa). Sending units fit great and no leaks.

Water Temp.: Another alum. block that fits in cut made in radiator hose that the sending unit screws into. This block will have to be grounded.

I hooked up a seperate switch to light all the additional gauges with that is not connected to the dash lights:. I didn't want to screw up the existing dash lights setup. I also left all the stock gauges/idiot lights alone as not to mess with that either.



Good luck with the install.

Skate, here is that picture of where the intake was drilled and tapped for the boost gauge fitting. You can also see the water temp. block that fits in the radiator hose too. I had to drill and tap a ground wire screw in this block to make the gauge work.

6.OIL PRESS.
1. I used the brake boster line, tapped a "T" fitting to the hose.. soon updating to a Weapon R boost distribution block that I am looking at on my desk right now.. hooking up to the same source.

2. On the OEM source? Its the black wire.. well...
LOL... ready for this??... when looking down at the front O2 sensor connection, as mounted at the sub frame, its the top right wire (on my 06, not sure if its different on other years)...



3. Batt or any hot source at the fuse box
4. & 6. find a fitting oil filter sandwhich adapter.. I think AC Autotechnica makes one.. it has 3 ports.. use for pressure, temp, and oil feed to a turbo, or has plugs for what you do not need.. never done it.
5. Ac Autotechnic makes a coolant hose adapter, like said above, cut your hose, install it there, and ground.. never done it.

Lighting.. like said above do not mess with your oem dash lights.. either use a switch or use a "add a fuse" at your fuse box to an "ignition on" source
