Im usin auto meter coalt gauges, boost and oil pressure but Im at a loss as to how to wire the gauges properly. An earth will be easy to find, key on power I'm not sure about and also where to hook the boost sender upto.. Plan to run the wires out of the grommet on the left hand side of the icc, gonna get a speco oil filter adapter for the oil pressure but yeah any help is greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easiest this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is inside the pods, from rear of gauges. I don't have the same brand gauges. Edited 16/08/12 01:33 PM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are threads with the colours stated. It was just the other day someone was asking which wire on ICC for the power or something like that and I did search out the answer for that thread.
