I cleaned all the crap out from the previous owner. I guess he was a VERY thirsty guy! Like 20 bottles of water, a few cans, and some other random bottles.

 

almost completely installed my boost gauge... but got lazy when it came down to finding a power source to the light

 

Me too - I've had my boost gauge installed for half a year and still haven't wired the light up yet. I'll probably do that this weekend.

 

well the main reason i didnt try is cuz i dont have the diagram on the fusel panel cover... was just gonna run the red wire into the instrument lights... but idk which one that is.. i looked on google and i only found one on wikipedia for an a4... but it doesnt say what year or if its 2.8 or 1.8

 

Holy crap, what a bargain!

Post some pics, please. My wife may choose an Avant for our Kayak hauler and I'd love to be able to show her pics of your roof rack.

 

I used the fuse marked 75x under the knee bolster and grounded on a bolt in the fuse panel inside the driver door. The light comes on when the car is on.

edit: I followed this http://www.goapr.com/support/boost_gauge_pod.pdf and scroll down here to see where the 75x is http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...wn-Wire-Bundle

 

I'm going to trim the bars today after work, then I'll take some pics and post them up. The guy who I bought them from ran them on a Toyota 4Runner, so the bars are a tad long. I've already whacked my shoulder on them three times since I put them on last night lol

 

I put my 15s back on, till I find me some decent 17s
