You'll want a read on the pressure inside each bag, correct. The VU4 has pressure ports on the top that are perfect for screwing your gauge senders in. The plugs tend to be REALLY in there, but they will come out.

For the tank pressure gauge, see the latter half of this post: http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...&postcount=387

Crap I forgot to buy that tee.

I'll try and get one picked up or have it shipped out overnight or next day.

There's 4 ports on the backside of my VU4 opposite to the bag lines. Are those the ports you are referring to?

You don't strictly need a tank gauge, so don't feel like you've got to panic.

Those are they. IIRC they're 1/4" NPT.

Where does the T gauge go? I'm trying to figure out the fitting sizes to pick one up.

And my gauges included the proper connector to go from the 1/8 PTC to the 1/4 NPT.

The gauge tee can go inline on any line that has tank pressure. Were I doing it, I would place it on the line that runs from the manifold to the tank, as high as possible.

You could also perfectly well unscrew the middle NPT-PTC fitting on the manifold, add another tee, put the fitting back on the end of it, and screw the tank gauge sender in. Your choice.

Thank you.

Last night I got some more wiring buttoned up, I think I got the relays hooked up correctly and only have a few small things to finish before the bags themselves.

• Wire the tank drain, and relay to "Passenger Eject" switch
• Bolt down the Tank
• Bolt down the VU4
• Plug the gauge wires into the VU4
• Tank Pressure Gauge Tee
• Install Gauges & Controller into console (Still being fabricated).
• Install bags
• Leak Test
• Lay frame, if unable, start cutting.

Glad to see this moving along. I'm finally back in America after 6 long days of travel. Can't wait to see some more bud!

Welcome back Mikey! I promise I won't disappoint, after this I'm going to start going back through and cleaning up some of my flaws that I hate knowing I cut corners and fixing them to improve the overall quality.

I hear you dude. Hopefully i can get one of my builds sorted out the next few weeks and finally get my shit together. Keep doin you bro, ill be watching :^D

Can this be considered progress? UPS finally delivered the bags, so I threaded on the leader lines and screwed on the coilover plates.

On my lunch break I got two gauge lines run that I forgot about,grounded my tank drain, and ran the power line but didn't get to the relay install quite yet, and I'll start searching for the tank gauge T locally if I can find one.

Random question, currently the leader lines are on the bottom of the bag is that correct? Or do I need to shift the bar and place them up top?

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

The leader can be on either end of the bag. I feed mine from the top just to keep the lines out of harm's way. Since you've got coilovers in the front, you may be forced to feed the bag from the bottom just for clearance reasons. I would get under there and start looking at where you're going to want to run your lines and let that be your guide.

Love the ride, ever bring it to shows here in orlando ?

Thank you. I'll definitely take a look, I've got a wiring harness up top so it make make sense to run it up top with that to keep it tucked away.

Yep, I was at V2 this year and was at SC6 in Daytona just a little further past.

Wow. This is sweet.

Stick around. It's about to get good.
