1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Install the electronic boost pressure sensor by drilling and tapping
your intake manifold. Drill and tap the intake manifold to 1/8
th
-27 NPT,
and directly install the sensor.
Note: After drilling and tapping your intake manifold, be sure to use
vacuum to safely remove all shavings from the manifold. You may also
remove the top of your intake manifold before drilling for extra
protection against drill shavings.
Note: If you are installing this gauge into a Dodge Ram, model years
98 to 07.5, you can install a boost bolt directly to your intake manifold.
Installing this boost bolt does not require any drilling or tapping and can
be purchased at MaxTow.com
3. Route the boost sensor wire harness from the back of the gauge (slot
2) through the firewall to the engine bay. Next, couple and secure the
sensor wire harness to the boost pressure sensor.
 Be sure to use a grommet when routing wires through the
firewall to protect them from stripping and damage.
4. Connect the white 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 switch of
the vehicle.
5. Connect the red wire to a positive 12 volt constant (un-switched) source,
either directly to the battery or to a fuse panel on the vehicle.
If wiring to an un-fused source, install a 3 amp fuse inline within 20 inches
of the sources connection. You may obtain an optional “expandable circuit”
accessory. This component easily fits into your fuse panel and provides an
additional fused power wire for accessories such as gauges. This is
available at www.MaxTow.com or a local auto parts store.
6. 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.
7. Connect the black wire from the gauge, to any good (unpainted) ground
connection. You may also route a wire directly to the negative side of the
vehicle’s battery.
8. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
