They will coil the lead up near the firewall on the passenger side. Just run it through to your A pillar (grommet on firewall where its coiled). All you need for the gauge is Acc or IGN, earth and illumination. Pull the head unit out and you will find it in the loom there. Just ground the earth to the metal tubing inside the dash - or any metal piece connected to it. Screw the 2 wires for the thermocupler onto the back of the gauge. Thats pretty much it. I think there are instructions in the box anyway so you should be fine.
well shouldnt i have all those wires running to the boost gauge already? I was thinking i could just solder a connection from these wires to the new gauge.
Lights & earth yes, but most boost gauges are mechanical. As in if yours has an airline running into the back of it, then it doesn't need Acc or IGN to power the boost gauge. So you will have to still grab that.
If that is the case then yes you will most likely have all the wiring there. No problem with solderig onto your existing wires. I would double check the wires with a test light first just to make sure.
yeah mate, no worries.
Cheers for all that
ordered my gauges tonight. Got the autometer cobalt ones.
now i should get them early next week ready for the install
might ring the exhaust place tomorrow and see how much its going to cost me to put the part in!
Ok so went to an exhaust place today. He said it can't be done hahaha said my cat converter was in the way or some crap! Tried to flog me a sports system then a chip! Is it really a massive issue or was he being a bit of a drama queen?
