I used the ciggy lighter wires for earth and switched 12v, the brown wire in the foggies/TC button for dimmer, and I located a constant power on the white wire in the white plug which connects leftmost to the ICC.

The tubing for the boost has probably pinched on the icc or the shroud around the firewall.. And with regards to your cd player, I would run it to your ciggerette lighter as its the easiest..Let me know if you need some help champ..

Here's a Log I recorded:That was stock as a rock. It's a bit of a worry now that I'm modified, haven't recorded the spike with 300+rwkw! There's relief valves available to bleed the excess boost on changes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have figured out the wiring after having a dummy spit and a few beers lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
