Hey All,

I'm looking at installing an electronic boost gauge into my G6E- mounting it around the A-pillar or very right hand side of the dash area, around the vent.

I just wanted to see if anyone else has installed a gauge in this area, and where you ran the wiring to. Is through the vent a possibility? Or down the A-pillar?

Obviously I want to hide the wiring as much as possible.

Thanks for your replies,

CLuTZ

This is where I want to mount it- on the dash below my GPS (where the red tape measure is)

I just wanted to know if the wiring is best suited going into the vent, or down the A-pillar- purely for ease of installation. I kinda want it a bit neater than the pic above- use some conduit or something

If using conduit there is a good chance you wont get the cover back on best option is spiral wrap. The wires in my pic are not visible from any other angle at all but you could definitely neaten it up further.

Not sure about the vent. It might be difficult to get access to it.

Put the wires into the pillar. Remove it and also remove the door seal, that will give you plenty of access to feed wires from the pillar to under the dash. You can also pull the side dash panel off for some more space.

Pull out the rubber where the door shuts and stick the wire behind that. Theres a rubber grommet behind the brake pedal that u can make a hole in to run the wires to the engine bay.

The pillar cover pulls out without much force. I just used zip ties to attach it
