Wiring in boost gauge

[CupraElliott]

Where have you lot wired your gauges into? And how?

Also best place I am guessing is on top of DV for the plumbing?

Done a search but doesn't seem to cover the wiring side.

yeah wire the boost pipe from top of dv, then i took my light switches out and wired it into there, just earth, illumination so the gauge only lights up when lights are on and ignition, cant remeber colours tho

In front of you, you will have the two switches 1 & 2 all the wires will be run off switch 1

Ah i see. Ive never done a search about it lol. I presumed that elliot had and not found anything

just quick one as never wired mine in properly is the switch able live the one that comes on with ignition?

 

[AdamHarling]

I wired mine on the ones in the diagram labeled "bLacklight" (think that's a typo! otherwise I'm missing some funky UV rave action in my car)... my guage lights up when ignition is on and dims with the internal lights.

 

[CupraElliott]

I wired it into the dimmer switch live, so it comes on with ignition, works a treat

did mine friday, job done! i just double checked every thing with a multimeter
