Finished gauges! - 5/13/2008 12:45:59 PM    sevenleaf Posts: 693 Joined: 7/11/2007 Status: offline Just finished installing my cobalt fuel pressure gauge works great.   I have a aeroforce gauge in the center dash, autometer boost/vac gauge in far left vent and an SOS gauge pod with Innovate wideband and a Cobalt Fuel pressure gauge. _____________________________ Kooks Headers O/R xpipe, Saleen 3.4, I/W 10% OD, Pi Converter, GT500 FP, 60#, Mafia, Carbon Fiber inlet, 90mm Maf Post #: 1

RE: Finished gauges! - 5/15/2008 10:24:13 AM    sevenleaf Posts: 693 Joined: 7/11/2007 Status: offline Thanks for the compliments! So I had a small leak at the fittings on the metco adapter couldn't find any information on how to seal the plugs but since Metco was closed I went ahead and used High temp Teflon Sealant.  Let it cure overnight no more leaks(finally)! I spoke to Metco this morning and they said you did need to use teflon sealant on the threads.  So something finally went right for me but I wanted to mention it since I could not find any information on this anywhere. _____________________________ Kooks Headers O/R xpipe, Saleen 3.4, I/W 10% OD, Pi Converter, GT500 FP, 60#, Mafia, Carbon Fiber inlet, 90mm Maf (in reply to hammeron) Post #: 7

The only gauge I'm not happy with is the boost/vac one, if I can find a better one, the same size it will be replaced.  It was my first gauge from brenspeed did not know what to expect.  Other then that I'm more then happy with my gauges. They are just what I decided on no reason for anything I do :D quote: ORIGINAL: xROBxCOREx Not a huge fan of a pillar gauges but I know you need em to see whats going on. The auto meter ones arent too bad.  I'm not either but like you said you need them to see whats going on, better safe then sorry.  Now that I'm used to it I don't mind at all. < Message edited by sevenleaf -- 5/16/2008 6:02:20 AM > _____________________________ Kooks Headers O/R xpipe, Saleen 3.4, I/W 10% OD, Pi Converter, GT500 FP, 60#, Mafia, Carbon Fiber inlet, 90mm Maf (in reply to white07) Post #: 11
