Look on page 5, he reposted the whole thing because it wouldn't let him edit the first one.

easiest way is to tap of the windshield wiper fuse located in the fuse box to the left of the glovebox. I found out that the stock SS/SC boost gauge also runs off of this fuse. $5 dollar add a fuse from pep boys and some wire should do the trick

Anyone know the size of the bolt I need to remove to take the stock pillar off? I dont have any hex tools so I'll need to buy one at Sears

I think its a 8mm. Its a TORX bit on the inside and a 8mm or 10mm on the outside. So you can use either tool and I dont remember the TORX size but I think its like a T-12 or some ****....

I don't have any yet... but I can take some if you'd wish. Oh, and DON'T keep the stock boost gauge. It's horrible. It has sooooo much lag... it lags more than SRT4 Turbo's. Seriously... I'll post a video of my Mechanical Boost Gauge. It's so fast, it makes me giggle.

put the power wire that runs into ur car into the other side, crimped that.
hooked it up to t he ODB2 or whatever, port.
turned the car on for a test run before i put everything back and it worked fine.

I did this exact same thing & the interceptor is working fine. I forgot to take off the jumper before turning the car on & I think maybe that messed up my stock boost gague because now the needle is at around -90 instead of -120 when the car is idling(mine is in kpa because I live in canada). I have absolutely no clue why the needle isn't where it's supposed to be. Can anyone help?

You HAVE to set the Refresh rate to 1, otherwise it won't work.

Mine is working great, I just have to customize the settings a bit more though. I love the shift light leds, they're bright as hell.

I'm changing my factory boost gauge to a mechanical 'Autometer ES' that reads PSI instead of kpa.
I hate how Canadian cobalts have that damn kpa gauge.
