1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 
 
Boost Pressure Sensor Installation: 
2. To install the boost pressure sensor, cut any boost line and 
insert the included T-fitting between the cut boost lines. Once the 
T-fitting is installed, connect the boost line, with the air filter 
connected, to the digital boost pressure sensor. 
Note: Be sure that the boost pressure sensor is mounted 
in a dry location either to the firewall or inside the cabin. 
 
Connecting the Power Wire Harness 
3. Route the boost sensor wire harness from the back of the 
gauge through the firewall to the boost sensor mounting location. 
Next, couple and secure the green wire on the wire harness to the 
white wire on the boost pressure sensor. Now you can connect 
the red wire on the boost pressure sensor to a positive switched 
12 volt source and connect the black wire to any good 
(unpainted) ground location. 
Note: Be sure to use a grommet when routing wires 
through the firewall to protect them from being cut or 
damaged. 
 
4. To make the wiring of your gauges easier you can purchase an 
expandable circuit. This component easily fits into your fuse 
panel and provides an additional fused power wire for accessories 
such as gauges. The expandable circuit is available for purchase at 
www.GlowShift.com. 
 
5. Using automotive grade wiring (18 gauge); connect the red wire 
to a positive 12 volt ignition (switched) source. It may be 
connected to the fuse panel, an accessory wire, or any positive 12 
volt source that turns on and off with the ignition. 
 
6. Using automotive grade wiring (18 gauge); connect the black 
wire to any good (unpainted) ground connection. You may also 
route a wire directly to the negative side of the vehicle’s battery. 
7. The Night Time Dimming feature decreases the brightness of the 
gauge face by 30%. Connect the orange wire to the 12 volt 
positive headlamp source. This allows the mode to be activated 
when the headlights come on. This step is optional and will not 
affect operation of the gauge if it is omitted. 
Note: Do not connect the orange wire to a dimmer wheel. 
This will cause the gauge lighting to flicker. 
 
8. Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable.
