Use a add-a-circuit for the widebands power and tap it into the passenger side center console fuse panel. Run the main harness wires for the sensor into the car by punching a hole in the rubber plug on the firewall. As for the diming stuff, IMO that's just a waste of time and I'm not even sure it can be done on an aftermarket gauge.

If there is an empty spot that is in the panel that wil supply power you can plug it into there too. Just make sure that the power shuts off when the car does.

Thanks for the advise....I forgot about "add-a-circuit"

So what amp fuse would be the best to use???? Maybe the sun roof fuse or headlights or something else??

Whatever one you can fit it into on the passenger side of the center console fuse box. You just have to see where it fits and turn the car on and off real quick to make sure it shuts off like it supposed to.

I use one for my meth kit in the engine compartment fuse box, and another one for my wideband inside the car like I described. I did the same for my Integra's wideband as well. I love the add-a-circuits because they are easy, quick, and can be removed without a trace.

No. I routed the w/b gauge and the LC-1 to the passenger side fuse box. I still can't figure this out. Why would my sterio say "calibrate"

Happened to me too with my interceptor gauges, i tried using the boost guage wires and i would turn the car off and it would run for another like 10 seconds.
