Tip 2: Oil pressure gauge can be a bitch. Watch out when removing this gauge because it's spring loaded and can unwind. Tip 3: Boost gauge needle is VERY sensitive. DO NOT force. Place two flat headed screw drivers opposite of one another and pry upwards to remove. GENTLY. Tip 4: CLEAN YOUR HANDS before touching ANY of your new gauges. I personally wore latex gloves to install mine. I recommend the same for you for "pristine" appearance afterwards. See Black Cat Custom 's installation tips for further details, or anything I may have missed. They have a nifty section right at the top especially for 1G cars. Good luck. Post photos when you're done. I'll try and get mine up later tonight. G. *Edit: Added proper URL. 1990 TSi AWD - Got Boost? 1992 TSi AWD - R.I.P

I will try to get some pics up but it won't be til near the end of the month as I won't have a digital camera til then. Gonna have to go back in I think though because guess which gauge isn't working....the oil pressure gauge. 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD - The Silver Bullet
