It will depend on the car and the type of gauges, but roughly, somewhere between 4 and 8 hours work.

Plus any bits you haven't got.

Honestly, it's not rocket science, and there have been loads of "how to" 's on here

Oil pressure isn't difficult, but there IS a bit of discussion about how to fit the gauge sender.

Basically, it fits into the same place as the OE oil pressure switch, which is screwed into the top of the engine block just behind the alternator.

You CAN retain the OE switch using a T-piece available from various places that do the gauges, but if you have Defis, for example, they have an audible alarm you can preset for any oil pressure you like, so most people with them leave the OE switch out, and just screw the sender into the tappings it came out of.

Where is the best place to have gauges situated with centre pod or A-pillar?

Both have advantages and disadvantages.

I recommend you find some pics of both and see which suits you.

Is there any "how to" on here any more for fitting boost and oil as have tried searching and they seem to have been removed!

What sort of gauges have you? And do you have the senders and the wiring instructions for the gauges?

I can possibly post some ideas of how to on here for you.
