Help on Gauge Install
I have an Apex'i EL Mechanical Boost gauge. I've read the two install threads, but in this case, I have a problem, because I have a gauge, but none of the stuff that typically comes with. Getting a length of vacuum hose was no problem, but that was really about it. None of the t-fittings I saw in the auto parts store were even close to the right size.
Also, there's some hokey connectors on the back of the gauge, so I don't know what to do with them. There are two screws with lock washers and hand tightening nuts. At first, I thought I'd be hooking one to power, one to ground, and be good to go. But there's also this crazy third port with two prongs about 5mm apart, surrounded by a little white plug housing. When I look on the Apex'i website, the pdf manual suggests the power/ground connects to this plug. And also that there's some sort of air filter involved.
