stormeaston Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Has anyone else done this? This is a super easy install and it looks great I think, the only real hassle is the wiring. I put in some cheapo gauges to start off with, I haven't got around to check but I'm thinking one of those scan gauge deals would look kool in there and serve a good purpose giving you data on almost all functions in your vehicle. I've got one in the 04 Crown Vic cop car and I really like it but it's rectangle in shape so it won't fit. I think they do make them in the round gauge version I'll have to check it out. The vent gauge pod itself is cheap........around $30 and fit 2 1/16 gauges. If you have 2 inch gauges one wrap of electrical tape will give you a snug fit. The wiring was the only hassle, I used a sandwich oil block that I had laying around for the sending unit, no leaks so far. The temp gauge I haven't hooked up yet because I still want to check out what's out there for round scan gauges, with that alls you have to do is plug it in to your computer port and run your wire to the gauge........there done!

Fontech Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I too have the same setup. Left side is the Boost and the Right side is the Digital Wideband. The Green Engine Start works. Mine was done May 2008. Congrats on the setup. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffIsHereToo Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 ShowCar posted a similar set up last month, thought just for his boost I think, and on the drivers side vent. It's here someplace... Interesting use of the vents! Found it! http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=47437 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the gauge setup I'd like to go with; however, I do have a question. Can the air flow still be adjusted, closed, and redirected? This is a must for me to go with this option. Thank you !!

stormeaston Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Ah man....I found the answer to my question on the other thread The answer is no.... The airflow still comes thru fine,it just can't be adjusted. And I did find those round scan gauges on e-bay, they run 350.00 and have a bazillion functions, I'll have to add that to the X-mas list.

SHELBYBRO Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I think I like this mod...looks clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowCar Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Looks great. Now if we could find Shelby 2/16 guages to fit. Autometer makes 2/16 carbon fiber guages but without the shelby signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
