Mechanical boost gauge install on 2.4

I installed an autometer mechanical boost gauge today and also wired it with the variable resistor that the gauges use for brightness. I also made a pretty nice wire harness with deutsch plugs and all.

Good install

I just did this with a SportComp2 gauge. Used the variable resistor to find the brightness, measured the resistance, found a couple resistors that got me the number I wanted and used them instead of the pot.

Really glad you went this route too as it's a lot better response time.
