Default defi sweep
I'm about to install a Defi Boost BFR boostguage. I was wondering if there is a specific place to install or tap the wires to have it sweep the same time as the dash guages.

oh, okay. I thought it depended on what wire you tapped into to have it sweep.

It does matter. Tap into the IGN wire of the hazard switch. That way the gauges will sweep once instead of twice.

Also, if I we're to tap it to the hazard switch. Would the dimmers work with the guage like the speedo guage?

As far as I know, I don't think so. That would be cool if you could do that.

Bump for an answer on this, I dont think it will, but it'd be cool if it did.

No. I don't recall anyone ever doing this. If someone has, I don't think it would be accomplished with the IGN wire. That's just 12v to the gauges when the ignition is on.
