brrman, sorry to hear about that accident. That sucks. But what would have sucked worse would be if the damage was such that the insurance company wanted to fix your car rather than total it. BTW: thanks for the info on the wheels. They may be in my future if I get the job I'm interviewing for tomorrow. [8D]

David, no problem buddy. Do you want any specific angle or detail of it? I might not get a chance to get it probably until Sat.

 

Where is the hole for the firewall? i'm lost. trying to install myself a boost gauge...which fuse can i wire into that will make the light on my gauge come on when i start my car? location?

 

Don't go to a fuse - go to the x75 post - it is ignition switched power.

In the engine bay, run your tubing into the ecu box through a small hole you can put in the rubber grommeting. Then run the tubing down through that into the cabin of the car.

You can see here where it leads:



and the 75x post is here under the knee bolster:

 

Where did you use for a ground?
will my 6 ft nylon tubing from auto meter do the job ok?

thx brrman.

 

ok iam looking on buying a boost gauge and well i was wondering were i would run the wires and everything i need to make it work i want it in the middle vent like the one at the begining of the post but i dont want to pay $136 for the one at awe would someone tell me the things i need to get it to work at a place to buy them please thank you

 

You will need to 1/8 tubing fro pepboys or something. The nylon tubing you only want to run from the gauge to the ecu case. Then run the rubber tube from there to the T in the line off the manifold.

For the ground I just found a suitable bolt under the dash. BTW - the copper and brown colored wires you see attaching to the knee bolster area of the driver side under the fusebox - thats a common ground point - run a wire there if you have to.

 

BAH!!![&:] can't find the rubber to get into the engine bay...closer pics?
