christ man!

how much ghetto wiring do you do?

a wideband thats pulling ~10a and you stuck it in a fuse spot. not cool, nor reliable.

none the less, you can ground to one of the strut bolts!!!

splicing the wiring together is what a i meant.

its betting to splice into pre-existing wiring, and run a fused link off that, then just stick it in with a fuse.

technically the best way to do it is with a 12v relay.

i re-wired all my gauges, boost controller, ect, ect thro 2 relays with 8awg power and ground lines and things are MUCH happier now.

its not that hard buddy
a ground is a ground...find an exposed metal on the frame and/or remove a bolt and put your ground there. its as simple as that....you might want to work on your wiring skills...but if you dont have any clue of whats going on....yes its better you leave it to the professionals

The AEM maybe easier to install but it's not EVEN close to as accurate! INNOVATE FTW!

im not banned. first off dont hook it up there. all my **** is hooked up in the fuse panel to the left of the passenger foot well. you need to go get an add a fuse. wire in the little calibrat button and led like they show. directions, they're there for a reason.
