1.
Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable.

Gauge Installation
2.
Run the boost line from the gauge through the firewall.

Note: Make sure the boost line is not pinched; the

use of a rubber grommet through the firewall is
required.


3.
Cut any boost line and insert the included T-fitting
between the two cut pieces of boost line. Insert accordingly
so that the intersecting cross piece of the fitting with the
brass pressure restrictor is left to be connected to the boost
gauge line.

Note: If a boost line is not available to cut, you may

need to purchase a brass barbed fitting (with
restrictor) to install into the intake manifold to obtain
a boost pressure reading. This fitting can be
purchased at www.GlowShift.com.


Connecting the Power Wire Harness
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.

 Power on the vehicle to ensure the gauge is

functioning properly.
