and for the love of god make sure you put loctite all over that little set screw that holds the shifter straight other wise it will come loose and move all over the place
Truth right there. Mine is loose, I've gotta take mine all apart and fix that today.

I got a double with the interceptor, so I can help you some. Get a wire tap and tap the power line off the stock boost gauge. Use that to hook up the red wire from the interceptor. Then just run the plug down the side and under the dash, plugging it into the port.

Thats the easy way to hook up the interceptor gauge. Then when you get your wideband, you can ether wire it directly to the interceptor, wire it just to the gauge that comes with it, or both. Kinda why I only got a dual, since I'm going to hook my wideband up to the interceptor.

So there is a power line on the stock boost gauge then? Is it red ?

you can run the red wire on the aeroforce guage to any key on power wire. the boost gauge is the closest source of power.

I don't remember what the color of the boost gauge power wire is off the top of my head. I'd have to go and take mine gauge cluster off to check. But yea, lots of people just power the interceptor off of it. Easy install, takes less than 5 minutes.

actually dude, im pretty sure that hurst says on its site what size the T handle fits on, if you dont mind poping off the original and measuring... you know, since i believe you did mention that its not sitting straight when tightened anyways, i assume its not on there too tight...

If you have a 2.4 why bother with the Hurst, you can get the Cosmo Short-Throw Shifter for $50, I have one in my 2.4 and it's awesome...

Looks good in your car Killer, I like the boot too!
