I ran mine through a rubber grommet that is located just above the parking brake pedal, on the firewall.

Does anyone know the dodge part number for the trim paint? I need the mist grey color for the pillar.

Mayfair, you'll probably be fine with the 35#. I am **** about this stuff and am still thinking about instead of acting on my gauges. I'm trying to find a juice / attitude cheap then I'll have the guages and the chance at getting higher boost levels.

That's what I did Jake, thanks

I called first and the guy started to give me a hard time saying "98 ?!?!?!? I don't even think I have BOOKS for a 98 !!" He was acting as though it was an 1898 !! He finally found the color with my vin and acted all surprised and said "Well, believe it or not I can still get you a can of that color" acting as though it was in the back of an old cubboard or something. I ordered it, and it should be here next tuesday.

Is it just Philly area dealers that are " Richards" ??

Lookie Lookie .... I got my first goodie box delivered today !! That Ken's Performance ROCKS !!!

The pillar and the boost bolt should be here next week along with the gray paint. Maybe if I get a chance this weekend I'll start at least drilling the hole for the pyro probe. I'm going to mount it POST turbo because I'm more concerned with the turbo temperature more than anything else.

Does anyone have any pics of where to drill for the probe POST turbo?

Any tips?

Thanks !!

Sweet. How do the autometers compare to isspro in price? One thing I am curious about is what they do to the blind spot. If you would, take a picture as you sit in the drivers seat with and w/out the gauges. I'd like to see how much room they take up.

I've been going back and forth between that and the above the mirror.

You know me brotha ... I'll DEFINATELY be takin pics !!

Your fears are the same ones I had. I was hopeing to actually see a Ram with this set up but I never did. If I could mount them above my mirror, I probably would go that route as Kingdog did. He loves his set up. They don't offer it for my year.

As far as compairing prices, the Isspro's apperar to be less expensive, but by the time you add all of the other parts you'll need to hook em up ( they don't come with everything needed ) they wind up being almost the same price. I went with the Autometers because I liked the ease of installing an electric fuel gauge over a mechanical, and damn near every race car I've ever seen has Autometer gauges.

Here are some pics that I found ...
