    Does anyone know of any directions on how to install a mechanical boost gauge? With pictures would be an extra bonus. I checked out scoobymods and they only have a short paragraph description of installing the greddy electronic boost gauge. Hooking up the actual line with the y-connector is the easy part, but I am a little clueless about a good wire to splice for the gauge lighting. Thanks for any help.

    Well I have yet to stick my head under the dash... Is there a specific color wire that I should splice into, or will it be obvious that the wire is leading to a power source?

    Where's your gauge pod? I've got a center mount pod and I just tapped into the clock wiring, the clock even had each wire labeled (ground, switched power, constant power).

    I haven't decided on a mounting solution yet. I was waiting to see what the stock mounting bracket looked like. I just got it today, and the bracket is really cheesy. So I think I am going to buy a-pillar or the center gauge mount, most likely the center guage mount. Thanks for the help.
