No problem. Seems I didn't read all the posts either.

But like I posted earlier, the best place is to tap the radio power. If you have an aftermarket radio this is easy with a harness. No need to tap any of the factory wires.

thanks Dan,

I have a different control unit. It had "play", "select", ect....
But for now I just put it under the pod

fit too.

Just finished up and it seems to work.

Now, the boost goes to "0" when I turn on the key (after the sweep), but then I start it...it goes down. When I give it gas...it goes to "0" again...no higher. (reving in the driveway). Is that normal?

thanks guys for all your help

unless you have the older defi gauges the control unit should be the same as mine. I have the v2 link gauges and v2 control unit which has play and all the other features...... Also is this the first boost gauge you've ever had on your car? Everything you described is normal.

no, but it is the first "electric" boost gauge. Also, it didnt have Vacuum...just PSI.

I was just wondering cause I played with the controll unit...and didnt know if I set it to a limit or something. I drove it last night and it works fine.

thanks
