Default Boost gauge light

I know i can tap into the red power line for the vents for the boost gauge light, but i saw that you cant tap into the black wire for the groud... Where is the best place to send the ground wire for the boost gauge light??? I can just put it on whatver i see that is metal right?

If you are installing it in your center vent I just drilled a small hole in the back of the plastic vent tubing and fed the ground wire through down under the steering coloumn and attached it to some random bolt.

Cool!... Arif if your not busy this weekend you should stop by and check out the rear brake job ill be into... Plus, I could use more of that electronic buttton spray you had.. It didnt seem like it worked at the time, but about 2 days after you sprayed that stuff on my climate control buttons they seem to work a lot better, but not 100%... Well i should just get some of my own, but if you wanna check out the brakes and boost gauge let me know.

I assume by parts you mean the special brake tool required to turn those ******* pistons. I tried everything from needle nose pliers to that stupid brake cube they sell at autozone and nothing worked except for that tool that I had to order AFTER my wheels were already off. I'm sure you know this, but just a heads up.

Oh...and what is that electronic button stuff? I think I need some of that for my climate control too.
