    Simple!
    For the Voltage: Find a good source of voltage located in your fuse box (under your steering wheel) One that will turn on when the ignition turns "on".

    Oil Psi: You must run a line that is provided by the manufacturer, this line must run through the firewall without any bends or sharp curves. It will install where your original Oil pressure sensor signal is located. Usually in the back of the block near the oil filter.

    They are kinda far from the driver, but they are pretty viewable. The red needles do help alot too.

    I'm kinda curious if you can use digital displays, and of course how much it cost you to do that and if you have any idea how much it would cost to do that with digi gauges.

    until they come with an analog to digital conversion circuitry, its pretty much easy to install. but the thing with the digital guages is that, u dont get to see how max u can go. you will loose the racy appearance and analog is soo much hotter and cooler (okay what i just said was a pure contrary. hotter and cooler?? )
