can I get the emanage installed before I do the turbo....if so, is there some base setting I can use until the turbo goes in?

boost guage needs a vaccuum line.....I couldn't find any yesterday......can anyone post a pic of where they are? should I buy a vaccuum manifold?

if anyone has tips on how to install oil temp/pressure/fuel pressure as well, that would be awesome. The guages I am installing at AutoMeter Nexus, so they are all mechanical.

yes the e-manage can be installed prior to turbo and i suggest it. As for base settings, if you dont adjust it, it wont effect factory settings and the car should run as normal. As for a vacuum source i used a golden eagle vacuum manifold and tapped in to the brake booster line. Just make sure its installed prior to the check valve that is inside the line. Golden Eagle also makes a vtec adapter for the oil filter this provides 2 ports on it one to supply the turbo and the second you could use for oil pressure/temp. For fuel pressure are you using a return style conversion? If so then a pressure sensor could be hooked in at the regulator. If your not using a return style then i would suggest it BTW you said they are all mechanical guages? If so i dont suggest running fuel pressure inside the car. I would use a electrical sensor/guage for fuel pressure or leave the guage under the hood.

thanks alot, I really appreicate your help. I'll look into the golden eagle part for the oil filter (I don't NEED to have vtec in order to use that right?). As for the fuel pressure, I think there is a mechanical sensor that has an electrical one plugged into it. Either way its only the wires that run back into the car.

Unfortunately for the emanage, I've already adjusted the jumpers and changed it to the 4-8-c.....I'd love to change it back, but I'm not sure how it was

thanks again!

Yes the vtec adapter works fine for non vtec. All it is is an adapter to supply oil pressure to what ever you desire. My E-manage was and is set to 4-8-c and i too am a NON-vtec
