    Boost gauge installation - wiring query!!

    Mechanical boost gauge FTL..... But seriously - I think that your gauge uses the red as a primary power source and the orange as a switch input for the relay to turn the illumination on. I dont think you have the option for dimming the light but I could be wrong. If you look at the wiring...

    Want to Polish My Valve Covers

    7MGTE spark plug for $25 EACH?

    1 million watts? Uhm I am wondering how they figure that since W=VxA.... Do they have a capacitor triggered by a spark signal or something? How do they store the power? Standard plug voltage is 40000 to 100000 volts so I guess they are either dramatically increasing the voltage to 500k or...

Perhaps...
