    Yet another gauge install failthread-EGT always on...

    Well - No constant - no operation - totally black. And if I clip the white wire I get Amber, as expected. Unless anyone has ever seen this i'm gonna guess it's a bad gauge - which sux considering I bought it off a member. I'll call Prosport on Monday - Hopefully i'm being an idiot. Meanwhile...

    ^^ Indeed - but I did paint it using "Seattle Silver." BTW - I just ran out and retested the wiring - seems okay. Red = 12V Constant Black = Ground White = 12V Accessory (Switched) Orange = Dimmer Switch Pink and Blue = Sensor This sux...

    prosport boost gauge.

    Don't give up! I just did my first gauge install (which was tough for me) and here's my two cents: 1. Use a voltmeter (and check continuity on all your wiring). There are too many different how-tos around and none of them that I found completely detail the installation taps, prolly cause...

    SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED Called Prosport today and here's the problem: The Premium Prosport Gauges (with the 2 molex daisy chain harness plugs) can't be spliced directly to the Performance Prosport Gauge harness (single, large harness). Refer to the diagram way down in the old post to see the fail...

    boost gauge

    From searching the forum it seems like most folks say to tap the brake booster line and install a vacuum manifold and then tap into that. You would then be able to run your BPV to the manifold as well, giving your wastegate actuator its very own hose to the manifold. I don't know if this is...

    The obligatory n00b post...

    Thanks. Prolly not mine since I'm pretty much only in the HWY280 -> HWY85 corridor during the week - and (lame) passing on the right. I have only seen 1 other MSP in my three years of ownership. There was a titanium MSP with the front tint removed on HWY101/Shoreline one morning last year...

    The obligatory n00b post...

    There's a thread on this subject somewhere around here, but as far as I can tell, enginewise anything aftermarket is basically illegal, nice performance headlights - illegal, FMIC - illegal. Cops can write you nasty tix if the sound seems too loud to them. Turbo hiss = probable cause pull...

    Recirculated Dual BPV/BOV where do I vent the BOV to question...

    KK - thx for the info. But I thought if running recirc dual BPV/BOV then moving the MAF becomes immaterial turkey-wise? Sounds like it worked out for you - If you have time lmk the details! (rei)

    Recirculated Dual BPV/BOV where do I vent the BOV to question...

    Hey guys - just another Northern Californian, new to the forum and modding. Been researching the awesome threads for the last week or so, but no matter how many posts I read, diagrams I look at, I still have 1 question: I want a recirculated dual BPV/BOV set-up. I have an Injen CAI with MAF...
