How much for this setup? Was it hard to install? Was the boost gauge a option with this set up

 

[bobs84ttype]

$ 1000... that includes sensors for water/oil/speed / the pressure module / boost semsor. hardware straight forward and fairly easy. mounted controll box center of opening where speedo cable came thru and the gauge cluster fits in same mounting point as original with original screws I had digital dash so i used both the wire harnesses to make all the hookups for lighting/turnsignal/cruise on/brake warning/check engine/power/ground/fuel. I ran a wire out to engine bay for tach signal and a wire for speed signal inplace of vss.
It is user progamable to just about any fuel sending unit. and has programable speed output for ecm and cruise.
It will be a few weeks before i get a chance to light it up. i am not completed with engine harness so no power yet.
boost shows in the display under tach or speedo with ever i choose when i program it.
