It's really not that hard. You just have to run wire to power the gauge, and another to whatever your gague is monitering (sp?) such as boost, fuel pressure, oil press. ect. Plus most gauges come with instructions.

Well you know for the price of a 5" tach, you could buy a turbo motor and actually GO fast instead of just "looking" fast.ssjmaverick23 said:
No offense or anything, but I would be kinda embarassed driving around an 18 second car with a huge 5" tach. Kinda Fast & Furious Style I guess. All show no go. And besides, the revs in a n/a 2.3 build up so slow (even in first gear) that it doesn't really warrent a big tach w/ shift light.
just my $.02
I went thru the same story here 2 years ago. Get the tach and pay no mind
to all the 18 second, big ass look, car is too slow stuff. So you want to
know what your real rpm are.
The tach has a white wire for lights. I spliced into a wire on the headlight switch so it'll fade with the dash lights as well.
The tach has a red wire for power. I spliced into the wire behind the fuse panel for my a/c. I dont have one anymore so it was free.
The tach has a black wire for ground, anywhere on the body in the car is fine.
The tach has a green wire you need to splice into on your coil. It should be the green wire also. This is where it picks up you rpm signal.
The rest is just finding where you want it mounted and screwing inthe mounting plate.
