Well I would have bought one of those today but the shop that I went to didn't have any, so instead I ordered it online. But I did get ultra lite II boost and fuel pressure gauges. After looking at the directions it seems like its a much more challenging project then I thought. First of all for those who have pod pillars to the left of the windshield, where did you drill your hole through the firewall to get the wires and such into the engine bay? Do you have to take the dash off? Then for the fuel pressure gauge, it didn't come with the adaptor that taps into the fuel rail, so first of all I need to find one somewhere, and second, where the hell is that Schrader valve? Is it that big silver ring looking thing? Can anyone explain to me how your supposed to do this.

Also when teeing into the vacuum hose, for the boost gauge, do I need to tee into the one going from my S/cer to the stock one? Or tee into the stock one? Either way its going to be the second tee in the hose, is it not good to have to many tees coming of of one hose?

No answers? Hopefully if I bring it to the top more people will see it. Also does anyone know the internal diameter of the fuel line hose? 3/8, 1/2? I'm going to tee into the fuel line instead of waiting for one of these crazy adapters.

Anyone have the part # for a good wideband A/F gauge?

I'm getting an SOS triple pillar and these 2 gauges:
Autometer Ultra lite II 4376 (Boost)
Autometer Ultra lite II 4363 (Fuel Pressure)

I also got those exact gauges. This is the wide band air/ fuel gauge that I ordered, best price that I found, not cheap though.
