It includes everything but the wire u need. u need wire for your lights just tap into your voltage gauge wiring for that. the other wire u need is 1 single wire long enough to go from ur oil filter adapter all the way into the cabin up into your pod. its a fairly easy install. just make sure u get the nut on the back of the sender tight when u hook up the wire or it will back itself off. hope that helps.

as far as what gauges u need. heres my opinion, volts is smart, oil pressure is a def. u cant even see oil pressure on a scan gauge, boost/vac since u have a blower, scan gauge so u can see most parameters, an last but not least wideband a/f gauge if u plan to mod.
 
yeah i got spare wire to tap into the volt gauge no biggy there but does the autozone link come with the adaptor and the sender or w.e????
 
i had an airplane before i sold my car. i had five gauges. 3 in the a-pillar and two in the lower cubby below the HVAC. it was great being able to know if anything was going wrong with the car. i feel naked without all that stuff in my subbie to diagnose with.
 


well ima get glowshift gauges off ebay. 30 bucks each shipped. they turn black when off and u only have 2 hook them up to neg and pos power sources, u dont have 2 tap them in to ur headlights 2 turn on. they turn on once u turn on the car. they never let me down and look gr8.

Hmmm, I wasn't even thinking about this ****, I should get an oil pressure gauge just to monitor what's going on. What are the 3 most important ones keeping in mind that my $$ is pretty drained right now?

Oil press is the #1 most important gauge. The idiot light (stock indicator)only comes on when your already screwed.

Second most important thing to monitor is engine temps, your stock gauges already have this.

Third most important (only if you mod, specifically if you drop a pulley.) is an A/F.

Boost, voltage, af, fuel press etc are useful but will not diagnose a problem that will immediately cripple your vehicle like low oil press will.
