Boost gauge installed

I know this has been done hundreds of times but it was my first. I read all the back threads from various sites only to realize the wires in my headlight cluster are not the same color as in the pics I found. Gave up on the dimming idea and wired it straight to the passenger kick panel fuse box with a add a fuse connector. Nylon hose is run through firewall by brake pedal. Everything went it fairly easy, I just took my time and it worked out. All works perfectly. At about half throttle gauge shows 5 lbs of boost. Vacuum at idle is -15. I am assuming thats normal. And in case your wondering the A/f is lean cause the car is warming up. Gauge has a nice red glow in the dark......very cool.:icon_eddie:

looks good! My last FI car had a fuel pres. gauge too so thought I would do a wideband, boost, and fuel press on mine when the build starts.

Run that thing to red line and see what it makes.

Coming from you that's a nice complement. I have followed many of your write ups. You have helped thousands of installs.:icon_beerchug:
