    Somebody call the whambulance.. Don't cry when it's a user error.. Several and I mean several guys have done it and I have yet to hear someone having issues except one or two needles needing to be shaved down a bit.

    Kid? I am older than you dumbass.

    And there are a lot of "kids" that have done the mod with zero issues, so, no you don't know what you are doing.

    Which doesn't say much if you can't get a set of needles to work

    04 needles cost like 10bucks..you need to save alot more to get a gt going fast just saying.
    Anyway, if you cut a little off the peg that sticks into the gauge u will be fine, compare them to your stock needles and u will see the new ones are a little longer.
