Wiring Schematic
Red: 12v Ignition Switched Source (+)
Orange: 12v Headlight Switched Source (+)
Black: Vehicle/Engine Ground (-)
WARNING
Disconnect negative battery terminal before starting any work on the
vehicle.
-
Locate a Vacuum Line that is coming directly off of the Intake Manifold after the throttle body. Some applications have an available port off of the Intake Manifold that you can connect to. You can also T off of the wastegate Vacuum Line if it is available.
-
Stretch out and make sure that the Boost/Vacuum Line is free of kinks.
-
Cut the Vacuum Line that is coming from the Intake Manifold that you are going to use and install the T-Fitting.
Make sure that the barb with the brass fitting is used for the gauge connection.
Note: If the Boost/Vacuum Line is not in line with the brass fitting the gauge could flutter or make noise. -
Slide the Boost/Vacuum Line onto the T-Fitting and secure with the supplied clamp.
-
Route the Boost/Vacuum Line through the firewall from the engine bay, keeping it clear of any moving parts, heat sources, and kinks.
Note: Be sure to use a grommet when routing the line through the firewall to protect it from being cut or damaged. If one is not available you will need to drill a hole and install a grommet.
-
Slide the Boost/Vacuum Line onto the back of the Gauge and secure the supplied clamp.
Gauge Wiring
-
In order to test for power, reconnect the Negative Battery Terminal.
-
It may be necessary to remove Vehicle Trim and/or Kick Panels in order to gain access to the vehicle’s Fuse Box.
-
Using a Test Light, locate a Switched 12-Volt Power Source in the vehicle’s Fuse Panel that receives 12-Volt power when the ignition is turned on. You can splice into the circuit or use an optional expandable circuit, connect the Red Wire of the gauge to the Switched 12-Volt Power Source.
Note: It is required to use an automotive grade 1820 gauge wire and proper splice connectors when extending any of the power wires. -
Connect the Orange Wire of the gauge to the positive head light switch Power Source using a Splice Connector or Expandable Circuit either in the Fuse Box or the switch itself in order to have the gauge face dim 30% when the headlights are turned on.
Note: Make sure that the connection source is not adjustable. If the voltage is reduced when you lower the Dimmer Wheel it could cause the gauge to flash from not having enough voltage.
-
Locate a clean, reliable grounding source and connect the Black Wire from the gauge.
-
After all wiring is complete, turn the vehicle’s key to the “On” position and ensure your gauge illuminate.
-
Reinstall any panels that may have been removed.
-
Turn on the headlights to ensure that the gauge is dimming properly.
-
Start the vehicle and check for leaks.
-
Test drive your vehicle to ensure your gauge is functioning properly.
-
Locate a clean, reliable grounding source and connect the Black Wire from the gauge.
