> [@cougarspeed](#): > > Factory gauges but the housing and center counsel insert are all carbon fiber. All of the gauges work but apparently the sender to the oil pressure gauge is faulty. It was one that came with the car in a box and I had just kicking around. I will replace i and all should be good to go. I mounted the mechanical one just like that because I simply wanted a quick mechanical reading. > > All that is left is I need to pull the turbo real quick and put some right stuff gasket maker on it to try to seal the flange since it is leaking a little due to Forced Inductions warping my flange and exhaust housing. That appears to be the last small issue presenting itself so far but it hasn’t even left the garage yet. I am sure some more sorting will be needed. Then I just need to finish the interior and get it tuned. Its mostly done. ahh cool, yeah the mechanical gauges are clutch when you’re trying to diagnose shit. I’ve done the same with fuel pressure in a pinch. Sounds like you’re almost there :tup: ---

Yeah man you need to come over and drink some pushrod beer. Also Mingle and I had a GREAT trip to Value for some hardware haha then we worked on a few of the small issues for a few hrs. At one point I didn’t have a turbo anymore! I will know tomorrow if I fixed the leaking at the flange of the exhaust housing. ---

It helps with any SIQQQQQQQQQQness one might have as well as encouraging chest hair growth. We all literally took pushrods right out of my motor and used them as straws to drink beer. I felt manly for weeks. ---
