Here is a spot for boost. Cross drilled post for cover mount, then drilled a VERY VERY small hole into intact.

| Post subject: | Gauge sender locations? |
I received my gauges today...pyro, boost, water temperature, oil pressure, transmission temperature, and voltage. I spent some time looking around the engine compartment (from the top and bottom) and didn't see any obvious places for the senders. I think the Jeep will be more challenging than my Superduty. I want to put the pyro sender pre-turbo. Where have people put their senders? Pictures would be wonderful. |

Thanks! Does that assembly screw out of the manifold? |

Job well done on intake, what I want to know is where do you guys put the gages? The Libby ain't got much of a dash area for mounting them |

Stan, Yes the post screws out of the intact. Old Navy I will post some pics, not a very impressive spot, but works for me. |

n3qik - Thanks! Oldnavy - I'm going to put the pyro and boost gauges in an A-pillar pod. I'm planning to put the other 4 gauges in a 4-pod overhead mount made for a Superduty...which I expect to have to adapt/modify. If that doesn't work I'll have to think of a plan 'B'. |

Pic Ken, I'm not that familiar with this engine as of yet, is that piece on the engine already or is it something I need to obtain? |

I'm currently working on the sender locations and working my way in to the gauges, and documenting the whole process with pictures. I'm initially going to try and put the 4-gauge pod to the immediate right of the mirror with the pod butted up against the mirror stem. We'll see how that works. I'm hoping to get everything done in 4-6 weeks. Has anyone bought paint to match the light gray interior trim? Any tips on colors or places to get it? The paint I used on my Ford truck's gauge pod is too dark. |

RTStabler51 That part in on the engine, its one of the mounts for the black cover. |

How big are the gauges? I have used a simple 2" hole saw in a drill to drop gauges into plastic dash panels in the past which worked fine. I don't like the way the Liiby is arranged for this. Been thinking of adding oil pressure, water temp, trans temp, and voltage on mine. |

The gauges I have are the 2 1/16" Cobalt gauges by Autometer. |
