I completed mine today, lights from foglamp brown, earth from traction black , 12v constant and 12v ignition from main connector under steering column. I did take the dash out to make it easier, but that is only a few screws. We went for the OZ gauge, my kid luves them. arron

pics are pretty crappy, but you get the idea.

I'm changing the pod when I get ally's in the mail, those screws just piss me off!

edit: I'm also going to hardwire my radar detector

Does the distance between your bov and the t piece matter? I have my bov near the battery and the t piece is where the vac line is (where factory bov usually is). The boost sensor is also mounted inside the cabin so about a metre from the t piece. Will the extra length in tubing have any effect on the accuracy of the gauge? At the moment I'm using the factory tune which I thought was 6psi. My boost gauge says 5psi when your pushing it but most the time 4psi when accelerating. It reads -20 when idling so I know that's correct. Here is a pic of my gauges that I took with my phone. I haven't connected the oil temp or AFR yet just run the power to them.
