Pineapple Racing EGT guage kit, and Megatune Virtual Guages Pic

So I just received my EGT Guage kit from pineapple racing (Thanks Blake), also got the Megatune running on this computer, so I thought I'd share things.

Now to start, to fit the guage in the position of the clock, you will need to use a dremel or something to grind a bit, Its about 1/16" or so that you need to grind off. Fairly easy 5 minutes and you should be done.I did mine so it fit in there really snugly. It might just be me, but I think that is they colored the tip of the needles in red or something other then white it would be ALOT easier to read. But thats just me.

As for the megatune as you can tell 8 guages on there are really easy to read. or atleast for my vision. I will need another single guage for my Wideband. That will most likely be placed in the A-pillar, along with the later to join it boost guage (Unless I install it right now on NA ) That should be all the guages that I need though. Everything else I can run through the Megatune. Now for the fun to learning all this FI acronims.

You don't need to go showing off, just because you know how to save your money, and can buy all these kickass parts in one summer. Damn you. If I was capable of being an ******* I'd smash it all the next time I'm over. But since I need your help I won't. Good work man, I'll call ya this weekend.

I gotta see your car sometime lol. Probably the cleanest install of a LCD screen I've seen in ANY car, let alone a 1st gen. Fits just sooo perfectly, and then you got your megasquirt stuff right at your fingertips too, can't get much better than that.
