help with install tommorow!

okay guys. I'm going to need your prayers, your tips, your links to how to's and everything because I haven't done many installs of any sort at all and here is what I am installing over the next 4 days.

Aem boost guage

Aem Uego

Aem oil pressure guage

ets o2 elimator downpipe vta



I'm not sure I even know where to begin and hopefully it will work out and the evo will be running nicely afterwards. Extremely worried about the downpipe. Having a hard time understanding uego routing and oil pressure guage install. I also have an exhaust system on the way that should get here next week. I can install all of this with the factory exhaust and then throw on my ur hfc and invida n1 later right?

ohh that's wonderful. Do any of you all have a link to that?

edit: found the video I think, it was only 49 seconds long though and just showed him placing the new downpipe in. Is there more detailed vids?

I would leave job like this for weekend, unless you have second car, it might take longer than you think if you never done this before, search, plenty of links on this board or google it.

I have a second car. (pos, but hey) I will be using that as I still go to school so I really have 4 half days. I work on the weekend, but if the project isn't completed basically anytime not spent working I will be working on it.

I have read a multitude of things it is just sooo complicated for me not having doing this before. So the more the merrier. Just started oil pressure install today...

I took off the panel, emptyed the oil, put drain plug back on, put panel back on. The defi oil pressure guage howto on evoxforums said the allen head is 3/8's. Well that is wrong (or on my car it is wrong), it is 5/16's. We found an allen head that could be locked in there perfectly, but for the last 2 and a half hours we've been trying to budge the allen keyhead. No such luck. First of all, I have been hardcore into bodybuilding for about 4 years. I couldn't even get the allen keyhead on there no matter how I approached it. My forearms hit the engine and radiator hose. I had to have my dad put it on. Then we had a steel pipe and tryed using that as a breaker bar. all of the possible ways the allen key could be were just not right. The pipe would be hitting something. My dad tryed giving it alot of force without the breaker bar, still no budge. I still couldn't get my hands down there. We looked forever for alternate tools, but no luck finding any. I think it is a job that will have to be completed tommorow after going tool shopping for a good ratchet with a 5/16 allen key extension.
