I'm extremely happy right now and I can't wait to fire this bad boy up, . Crash I also figured out a way to wire up the BIM so you don't have to jam up your OBDII port. Let me know if you want the info. Sorry for my exuberance, but it was a banner day on moving my build forward.
Hart_Rod,

Great news on getting the gauges working. Please send the info on how you keep the OBDII port open, also any info on the oil pressure working via the PCM. It am certain that was not a option when I set my gauges up. Maybe you have a newer firmware for you gauges..

Once again great news on getting everything working.. Have a great day, and good luck with the rest of your build..
