The bypass mod works once you put a smaller pulley on and get the thing tuned. It also looks way better under yur hood because then you don't have to use that gaudy ass T. You can just use a plug with a nipple on the end to run the nylon to the gauge. Way better looking.

how do you get power from the emergency light button? Where does the wire dump out so you can use it?

i got my power from the fuse box under the center council by the drivers foot. i tucked it in with the headlight fuse. works nice because the gauge lights come on with the headlights.

Wiring boost guage?

How do I get power to the boost guage? My guage has all the wiring and the wiring end has like five wires and they are all black, red, orange, yellow, and brown. What is the best way to get my guage to work properly? I have a manual and all but Im not sure how to do it all. Do you have any tips?
