Greddy Boost Gauge Install

Just wanted to get a feeler if everyone would like me to make a nice howto... (truth is I have a nice *** cam and a lot of free time)

I had a hard time finding all the information I needed in one thread.. I'd like to document where I tapped in all the power wires and such..

This would be for a Greddy Electronic Boost Gauge installed on the steering colum..

I apologize for not making a writeup yet.. I've just been way too busy. I found a very nice place to ground.. I can take some pics if you want..

I've got to double check my wiring.. my boost gauge doesn't dim with the dash lights.. Actually I'm not even sure if it's supposed to

Here are a few pics to help until I have time (hopefully this weekend)

This is where I tapped the vaccum line...

pic #1

Closeup...

pic #2

Here is where I mounted the Greddy Sensor...

pic #3

Closeup...

pic #4

Here is where I put the wires through the firewall.. I still haven't got photoshop so paint will do for now.

pic #5

If you want to see the full size pics go here and click the thumbnail then click the larger pic.

I've got a few pics of the wiring I'll get these up asap..

As always if you need images hosted I can hook u up. (evom related only plz)

Thanks a lot for your post, Justchil! I'll be receiving my GReddy boost gauge and steering column pod this week so your timing couldn't be better.

I've never attempted to install a gauge before...so wish me luck

Thanks again!
