Amjad Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Okay so I've just got myself a mechanical boost gauge, I think I know where to put the vacuum line, but I've got no idea where to plumb in the power wires!Any ideas guys? I want the gauge to light up on ignition.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Black earthRed ignition (usually wire it with the headunit)white (i think? this is for the light) so wire it up the the indicator stalk somewhere?T the vac from the inlet make sure it doesn`t get crushed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 I think Black and Red are sorted then, how do I get to the indicator stalk wires? Is there anywhere else I can wire it to? :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 i guess any lights which come one when you put the sidelights one so thats the center console buttons etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
