1 Mounting and Sensor Installation

1.1

Mounting the Gauge

The MTX Boost/Shift gauge fits in a standard 2-1/16” (52mm) hole. The gauge can be mounted
into a commercially available 2-1/16” (52mm) gauge pod or by drilling a 2-1/16” (52mm) diameter
hole to your desired mounting location. Check behind he mounting location for any wiring or
components before drilling. Allow at least 2-1/4” (57mm) of depth for the gauge body and
associated wiring. Mounting of the gauge should be done in such a manner that the cables are
not being forcefully pulled from the gauge body itself.

The MTX Boost/Shift gauge is splash resistant (not water proof) and can be mounted so that it is
exposed to the elements. The MTX gauge should not be submerged and special consideration
should be taken to protect the gauge from direct water spray (water coming from a pressurized
source.) When replacing the bezel and/or gauge face verify that the o-ring is properly seated.

Make sure mounting location does not impair visibility or interfere with driving.

1.2

MAP sensor

1. The MAP sensor MUST be installed with the hose fitting facing down. It is very

important that the sensor be isolated from heat sources, mounted away from all ignition
and/or other potential RF emitting sources, and protected against excessive vibration.


The MAP sensor has two 1/8” holes that can be used to secure the sensor. Another

viable option to mount the sensor is to use double-sided mounting tape.

2. Locate a vacuum source on the intake manifold, after the throttle body and connect it to

the hose fitting on the sensor. Use the provided “T” and hose to make this connection if
needed. To secure the hose use tie-wraps or hose clamps.

2 Wiring

2.1

Main Gauge Wiring

1. Connect

the

RED wire to a switched 12V source. A switched 12V source comes ON as soon

as the ignition on the car is keyed on. Make sure the connection is fused with a minimum
fuse size of 2A.
