Johnboy GT Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Hi guys,Ive been looking at buying matching depo gauges for boost and oil pressure. I realise the oil pressure requires a sandwich plate and to plug in the senders but im not very sure how to wire up an electrical boost gauge? Any help would be greatly appreciatedJohn Quote
MARC MOSS Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Surley it'll be like a map sensor style sender unit twenty a vac hose and a couple of wires Quote
Johnboy GT Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 I will get a link to what im looking at and see if its right. Is there a how to for wiring this up? John Quote
Michael! Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 ive got a depo gaug in mine buddy, instructions are in the box telling you how to fit, all you need to do is a vacum line of the manifold which goes into a sender unit which is pluged into the back of the gauge! hope that makes sense!!Mike. Quote
Johnboy GT Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 Sweet thats how mine is already. Its matching oil pressure and boost depo gauges on ebay i was looking at!Cheers gentsJohn Quote
Michael! Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 pretty straight foreward wiring them in dude, take an ignition live and ground and if your running more than one gauge you shud get a daisy chain wire that supplies the rest of the gauges so ya only have to take one live!Mike. Quote
craig-glanzaEP91 Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 i took a live feed from my cigarette lighter as my power source if that helps you out any , the previous owner already had one fitted with the vacuum hose etc but had not plumbed in the live feed so no source for the gauge to illuminate , depending on the type you can get one with just live and ground wires and also some come with a 3rd white wire which you can put into your light circuit to act as a dimmer , hope this helps you out mate Quote
Johnboy GT Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 Good lads!My previous gauges have taken a live each but i cant remember where from. Will investigate when i get back home!John Quote
