Is this normal or not? haven't had a drive yet, just idling in the driveway with a couple of quick throttle stabs (it does move upwards towards the positive side, but should it sit @ 0???)CheersDan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/45456-boost-gauge-display/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd you hook up the power though? (or anyone that's done it too) obviously one leads gotta go to the positive on the battery, but does the other need to go the negative? or can it just be ground off to the frame?Cheers againDan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/45456-boost-gauge-display/#findComment-675377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
