Posts: 226 Thanks: 4 Trader Rating: 0 Drives: | Re: Boost gauge install i did my own a while ago. its really easy. just wire the vacuum tubing to the vacuum line in the engine bay...then they are 3 power wires. mine were 1. orange - that goes to your head light switch and turns on and off the guage light with your lights. (i didnt connect this one i like my guage lights on when driving.. everything jus goes off when i remove the key anyway.) 2. red - 12v+ - i ran that to the cigaritte lighter socket as that comes on and off with the ignition. 3. black - ground and that it...

also all the wires are fairly short, so u need to either solder or twist and tape an extention....which i had to do. im trying to choose between a voltmeter or AIR/FUEL meter for the second cup....
