Nicely done :tup:

But where are you monitoring AFR from? A third aftermarket O2? There's two banks and two OEM widebands, but you have only one input?

a third party AFR bung/o2 is in the drivers side down pipe before the CAT. I realize it is only monitoring one bank... this is the way I have done it will all previous FI vehicles and it has yet to steer me wrong. Although I could add a second o2 to the right side bank and build a circut that alternates signal to one gauge on dash or put in a switch.

But I am surprised that you don't have a "check engine" light present from removing the feedback loop to the ECM from the triple gauges?

I know I did when I installed my DEfi gauges and had to do a work around to get rid of the "check engine" light on the dash. But then I don't have navi either.
My wife had a 1990 Mercury Sable that had speed sensitive power steering that was acting up so I disconnected the speed sensor as a cheap fix for the problem (it worked too) but about 4 weeks later the climate control went nuts and would only return to normal if the speed sensor was reconnected-you never know what evil lurks in your CPU.

That looks awesome. Thanks for sending us the link

You know I really love the look and practicality of this mod. Possible CEL issues concern me, now that this mod has been in place a while I hope we can get a report on any possible side effects from removing the stock cluster.

Thanks Guys -
No Check Engine lights or Errors associated with removing OEM gauges. I had them disconnected for a week prior to removal and they have since been out for a month with no issues.

The ProSport gauge do just that... they have an opening and closing ceremony . sweep. They are really nice. I believe there is a video on their website which shows what they do during power on/off
