Sweet man!

I was expecing mine to show up today, but it seems FedEx revised their delivery date for "2-day Shipping". Silly me, I thought 2 days was 2 days. Oh well. It'll be here tomorrow and I'll finally get it finished.

Yeah.. I can't wait.. If you see my Whisper Catback thread, I linked a vdeo I took. You can see the hoop and wires for the gauge on my column. :P It'll be nice to fill that again.

I'm going to pick up a voltage/continuity meter today and test my connections to be sure everything's 100% before I put it in.

Everything is back together, and the gauge is working fine. I've updated my posts in both threads.

I tapped into a wire on the a/c control harness for the ignition wire. Now that I have everything installed I want to remove my old stock boost guage. How should I go about that just plug the old hose, or remove the whole hose from the car?

Depends on where you hooked up your sender for the MadDad gauge. I actually used the hose for the stock gauge for my sending unit, so everything is in the cabin.

I hooked mine up in the engine bay.

Well if the hose isn't doing anything, then I'd get rid of it.

all4bspinnin did the gauge fit ok in the vent, because i know they actually have a 66mm face so was just curious if it fits in as well as the defis.

Thanks
