Sorry just got the pics to attach properly.
 
Sweex Is it a vacuum gauge or digital mate?

The way I read that is when you connect the green wire to the boost sensor that is what triggers the 'boost warning light'

You will have live and neg, the white will be your source for constant light on the gauge,
Can't really advise more until I know if it's vacuum or digital gauge...

Think its vaccum mate, ive gotta tee off a vaccum hose in the engine bay?
The destructions are really unclear on the green wire... hahaha.
 
Right okay, going to take a bit of playing because of the instructions,

I think what the instructions are saying are because the gauge is a 'smoked effect' it will always need a light to illuminate the pod.

This is what I try......

Red - power to turn off on/power the pod
White - constant illumination for when the car is turned on
Green - wire into the same as white to always be fully illuminated OR run to your light switch so it changes the brightness as you switch your lights on/off light your dash (adjusting the brightness)
Black - earth

Then you have the connection for the vacuum signal > t piece in engine bay at the boost pipe

Okay, is there another wire that goes separate to the boost sensor other than the colours above?

There certainly is two different cables, one for boost sensor then seperate loom for the 4 wires!
What you've also just said about the wiring sounds right, i would want it to dim a bit when i turn the lights on haha, well i think it dims?

Sweex connect it all up and just wire the white and red to the same power source for now, connect it all and see if it works.

with regards to the 'green' wire leave, is the boost sensor and a wire in the 4wire loom green?

No, loom on the boost sensor is a three wire connector, red white and black.

Heres what i have.

okay, is there anywhere on that boost sensor or boost sensor wire that another wire can be connected too?

if not, the green wire will be used to allow dim settings (where available)

wire everything up apart from green and see what happens :)

red = power
white or green or both = light up and dim
black = earth.

Awesome, cheers for your help mate, ill see if i can get it all working lol.
Any advice on what connectors to use for the wiring? I cant solder haha! Also, wheres best to take the power from etc? The wiring isnt the longest and i dont fancy extending really...
 
not a problem bud, give me a text if you need

I extended my wiring to go to my cigarette lighter, but I guess you could go for the power in your ignition loom OR the instrument panel..

soldering is best, but you can always use scotch locks..
