Fixed the gauges!
Sweetness, I finally got under the dash to see what the shop could have done to make my boost and egt gauges not work.
The history:
Got the car back from 5spd swap, and the gauges had power (lit up) and sensors were connected, but they didn't work. However the Autometer A/F did... and they all share power/ground
The Now:
I go under the dash and follow every wire individually and find the big red one goes all over the place to different split offs... I did notice one part of it ended at a female crimp... and noticed something totally different that was also a female crimp plugged into the fuse box..... so I figure I give it a shot and plug it in the next one over. No dice. I try again in a slot over and BAM everything works again.
I'm soooooooooooo stoked!!!!! Car is at 99% working again, only thing left is the stupid cruise control, which is not a big deal at all, since I never use it.
