Thats because the cheap a/f gauges will not work in the tC. The tC has wideband sensors and your gauge will not work. You need a Wideband z/f gauge in order to read your afr's. The best place for the oil pressure gauge would prooly be with a oil block adaptor since the s/c is in the way.

the 49 people who viewed were prolly tired of answering the question over and over. The search button is your friend.

I am sure you are looking at an autometer or like a/f gauge, or a light show as I like to call them. They work 0% of the time, they use narrow band O2 sensors. The TC has wide band O2 sensors stock....
