boost gauge install
Did anyone else find running the wires for a boost gauge a pain in the ***?
I plan on using an A pillar and running the wires long that tiny area was a pain. I had to use a coat hanger to jam them through there. Then when I was wiring the electrical connection to the dimmer switch i broke the dimmer switch trying to pull it out . Fix that now. Dimmer switch was only place I remembered to wire the gauge for it light. Still trying to find a place for the ground wire as its very short.
If anyone knows how to make this eaiser for me. I can see how much of a pain the egt and oil pressure gauges will be.

Re: boost gauge install (MachAF)
It was a pain for me to run my wires for my A-pillar too. I recommend threading a length of thinker wire down (easier to work with the thicker wire), then tape your thin wires that you will use to it and pull it back through.
For ground I am using a bolt in the chassis right next to my fuse box.
