Default Places to install Clutches and gauges

Hey guys, as the title states, looking for a place to install a clutch for my buddy who owns a tC too. And a place to install gauges for me. Any info you guys have would be awesome. If you know of anything close to the 818 that would be cool, but anything in So-Cal would be awesome too.

I know I'm going out on a limb, but if you know a place that would do it for less than $320 would be great too. My buddy got quoted from a shop and a dealer the same price...

Thanks!

the boost gauge is easy to install and since your not boosted yet all you have to do is get the vacuum line for it and 12 volts and ground. for air/fuel i hope you got the wideband cause those narrowband don't read anything correctly on the tC and if you got the wideband, then you need a o2 sensor bung which you will have to weld that sensor into the S-pipe. if you have the narrowband and tap into your o2 sensor from the header you won't have a proper reading, it'll be a sitting light that doesn't work. the reason why is because the tC has a wideband sensor stock and a narrowband gauge wont work because of the signal difference. Narrowband = 0-1v Wideband = 0-5v here use this link to install the boost gauge yourself, instead of going to pay for it. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...ht=vacuum+line

^ thanks for that info. I knew about the whole thing with the wideband and narrowband. I will try to do it myself, but I am totally not inclined to install something like that. I installed my intake myself, so I can imagine it's not that hard,,,

yeah i've put in the boost/vac gauges in turbo and N/A cars and it's really easy to do and if you put in your intake and that steering wheel yourself, then i know you won't have a problem, but just make sure you t-tap the 12 volts instead of wrapping it.
