Ok so my gauges are set to be in today and i will be installing them today after work. Where is a good place to splice in for power? I have heard some people hook them up to the factory dimmer. I have never done gauges before and any help would be great I am sure i could figure it out but it's easier when people give you pointers.
Thanks,
Derek

Not hard at all

Use the S E O 10 amp fuse for keyed 12v power. Go to Autozone and get an Add-A-Circuit to help

For dimmer switch, us the brown wire with white trace

And for ground, just double nut one of the posts that mount the dash to the a-pillar

For pyro, drill the pass. side manifold

For Boost

Hey Chad See that you said put the Boost Gauge in after the CAC, is that a better place than installing it in the hose that goes to the Waste Gate "Pre-CAC vs Post-CAC?

That's where I prefer, you can do where ever you feel works best for you.

DO you sell the bung/fitting "or what ever it is called" for putting it in the spot you mentioned?

The bung comes in the kit for the C2, NV, Sport Comp II, Cobalt kit, etc. Only the Older style kits (Phantom, Z-Series, Ultra-Lite) come with a Tee fitting. And I always have 1/8" NPT - 1/8" boost tube fitting in stock.

Here is where I tapped my boost into, real close to Chad's as well. God knows I searched high and low looking for a pic to get an idea.

fwiw you can tap right into the fuse for the interior lights and it dims with knob. thats how i did mine so you dont have to splice into the wire behind the dash. thats how i did mine and it works. to check just put a test light on the fuse and turn the knob, it should get dimmer and brighter.
