Gauges installed

Sorry but a few of the pics turned out crappy My camera is so sensitive to movement

Installed some SW gauges today, and made an awsome wiring harness to boot

The gauges are wired into my TT, with a fusable link so the curcuit is protected. Also when you kill the key the gauges run untill the TT shuts the car down.
The amber LED bulbs that I ordered to match the cluster turned out to be a perfect match

Installed.....
30/40 boost gauge
0 to 100 psi oil pressure
0 to 100 psi fuel pressure

I have an AEM wide band and its going the steering column were my old boost gauge was, this week sometime.






Sorry about the back ground in the pics, the car is on my lift at work with trans out of it... it geting a buschwacker trans and a Exedy triple HD.

What do you guys think... I gotta be able to monitor the BR 35r

Looks good. Am I the only one with the 10psi mark half lit? I have the amber led also and my 10psi marker is half lit up.

nice set up. so your gauges run on the TT being turned on. No control unit for these gauges right?

what made you decide on SW gauges vs others? how is the reliability and accuracy. I've seen that they are not expensive, but that does that mean low quality. And yes, SW has been around for years. Just curious.

you know I was just thinking about that, I took the stock 1 out, but I think it may need to be behind it

no there is no controller, the TT is just powering the gauges and the lighting through the fuseable link

Fit is ok, it could be better, that is why i am thinking the stock pillar needs to go behind it.
