thumbnuts provided. Plug the BLAck
wire lead to the male spade terminal
on the BLAck wire of each gauge
wire harness. Plug the YELLOW wire
into the Yellow wire of the boost
gauge wire harness and the RED wire
into the RED wire of the pyrometer
gauge wire harness. The ORANGE
wire remains unused.

connect the 4-pin connector

of each gauge into the back of its
corresponding gauge.

a. crimp the remaining Black and

RED wires from each 4-pin
connector gauge harness to the butt
connectors as shown in Figure 10.

b. Strip one end of the RED wire and

crimp to one of the butt connectors
attached to the gauge harnesses in
step ‘a’.

c. Strip one end of the BLAck

wire and crimp to the other butt
connector attached to the gauge
harnesses in step ‘a’.

d. Route the RED wire to the fuse box.

Locate the appropriate fuse for
instrument lighting in the owner’s
manual. cut the RED wire as
required and strip the end. crimp
the push on connector to the RED
wire and connect to the fuse as
shown in Figure 10. Alternatively,
locate power wire to dimmer
switch and install T-tap. cut the
RED wire as required and strip
the end. crimp the push on T-tap
connector to the RED wire and
connect to T-tap on dimmer power
wire.

e. Locate a metal surface that will

serve as an acceptable chassis

ground. cut the BLAck wire to a
sufficient length that will allow it to
reach the chassis ground and strip
the end. crimp the ring terminal to
the BLAck wire as shown in Figure
10.

f. Drill a 1⁄8” hole, if required, to

attach the ring terminal to the
chassis ground. Caution: If drilling,
check the backside to make sure
there are no components that may
be damaged by drilling.

g. Use the supplied self-tapping screw

to secure the ring terminal to the
chassis ground

53.

Locate the engine air cleaner

box on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle. Remove the cleaner box
cover by releasing the four (4) clips
on the side of the box and slide the
cover toward the firewall.

54.

Remove the old air filter

element from the filter housing and
replace it with the Banks Ram-Air
filter element. Place the Banks filter
element in the correct orientation
and verify the filter seal is seating
properly around the box to ensure
no leakage.

For proper maintenance and service
on the Banks Ram-Air Filter, refer to

To install the air filter cover,

slide the tabs on the cover into the
slots on the air filter housing. Press

Performance

Note: This verification of
proper performance should
be performed prior to
permanent mounting of the
OttoMind as illustrated in
Steps

.

Go over the entire installation as a
precautionary check to ensure that
all clamps are tight, wiring and hoses
are properly routed, and connections
are tight. Make sure that the wire
harness is not laying in the way of
the brake and gas pedals. Start the
engine and allow it to warm up.
Drive the vehicle under light load
(normal around-town driving) for
20 to 30 minutes, and listen for any
exhaust leaks or rattles, or intake
boost leaks. Shut off the engine
and re-tighten all intercooler and
turbocharger boost clamps. These
connections may have loosened
with time, and if leaking, will cause
a drop in boost pressure with a loss
in performance. check that clamps
are properly positioned on hoses,
and periodically check tightness of
hose clamps at regular maintenance
intervals, such as when the oil is
changed.

Observe the operation of the boost
and pyrometer gauges (if equipped)
while driving under varying conditions.
Turbocharger boost pressure will
increase as a function of load and
engine RPM, thus the engine will
