im sorry im asking to many questions about it, but how do you make it like that? do you get the main power wire and strip it and just twist the 3 power wires on? i dont know. help me please!!

 

twist them on or crimp them with a butt connector .

 

ok i get it. thanks alot.

 

if i do wire it like that is there a chance i will blow a fuse, or accidently short something out?

 

how much boost can you run on stock fuel system? and has anyone installed a mbc on their car?

 

not sure , I havent seen anyone reach the limits of the stock pump as of yet . There is a turbo car on this site that dynoed at 401 wp @ 21 psi using the stock pump without issue . I believe GM rates the stock pump to 475hp .

 

so can you just put a mbc on this, i know that is the first thing i did on my vr4

You have a Supercharged car, hahaha....MBC is used for turbo cars.

 

hes right mbc= Manual boost controller

 

Thanks for the how-to, I'll contribute my pics-

Factory Autometer was dead, solid 6psi all day everyday-


After owning multiple Autometer's and SW Max Perf series I decided to give GlowShift a try despite their somewhat cheap appearance. I browsed reviews, became confident and ordered up the 7-color tinted series-


First order of business was ripping off the factory retainer that only the factory gauge seems to line up with, this went easy and looks flawless-


Only wiring I had to do was a constant power for the GS, I used a mini add-a-circuit as I enjoy the protection and not bastardizing any of my factory wiring, I found one and tapped in-


I snipped the factory plug from the Autometer to use it's ignition and ground, wired it to GS accordingly, this is with the line ran too ready to go (notice I loomed it too)-


The loom allowed me to hide it under factory wiring, I then tapped it into the correct source and proceeded to zip-tie that out of view-


Blue showed up the best for the pictures, so eh, it's a 7-color deal so at night we'll be seeing red-


Further away-


I'm satisfied, enjoy!

 

i just replaced mine yesterday, works great!!

 

So is it just hot and ground then the boost line?

 

yup, easy install

 

sorry to bring back the dead, but this thread was alot of help!

 

BACK FROM THE DEAD! AGAIN!

Anybody know what gauge the OP used? Autometer Sport Comp II???

My stocker has been out for months now, and I need to get this changed once it warms up.

 

nice write up

 

what size hose how much do u need and what size t fitting?

 

This how-to was very useful. I must warn people not to buy Auto Meter C2 gauges as they are MUCH too bright at night.

 

Nice write up Same way i did it. Heres my result

 

so im just about to install my boost gauge and i wanted to know what wire to tap into for the power so it still dims like stock and also which is the ground

 

this thread is a BIG help the only thing i noticed was i didnt have to cut into the sound deafining rubber to get my vacuum hose through the fire wall i just went straight through the gromet behind the clutch pedal i did however have to cut a small hole in the side faceing the engine bay to get the hose through then i used a wire coat hanger and looped one side to get the hose and pull it up to my hand

 

What is the easiest way to get the vacuum hose through the fire wall?? Im having trouble with this
