Here are some more picutures of the routing of the copper tubing I did.

This shot shows it leading up the side of the car to the A Pillar.



Here you can see the tubing coming up from the Grommet area of the firewall inside the engine bay.



Sorry for the blurred picture on this one, but here you can see where I cut the vaccum line and inserted the T into it. I used some Silicone paste to help seal the T onto the Copper Tubing. Had I of looked better, on the Evap Sensor, I could have pulled that end off and simply hooked into it there without splicing anything.



Lesson learned for next time around

I got the add a circuit but it seems that I have to turn on the lights for it to work. What fuse should I tap in to or do I have to tap in to the ACC for like the radio or something

I used my windshield wiper circuit so it is on any time the key is in ACC or ON.

The Wiper Circuit worked but the gauges do not dim with the Dimmer I connected the dimmer wire to the wire in the harness on the drivers side like the write up shows. Any Ideas

You have the blue gauges? If so, the dimmer wire does nothing.

I'm not sure about that then. I have the blue Prosport gauges and they don't have dimmer function. All their other colors do.

I just jumped the Lighting to the power I really do not care about the dimming but My Oil Pressure gauge jumps to max everytime I hit a bump I think something is loose but what should my gauge read at Idle? My boost gauge and Aeroforce gauges are working perfectly. Also for the ground on the Oil Pressure sending unit I just used a bolt under my frame of the car I think that should be a good ground
