Heads up on the boost gauge. Mine flickers when dim mode is on. Only when the voltage gets to 12.7 or below. I contacted glowshift and they knew of a problem. They sent me a new gauge, same problem! Only the boost gauge though. As far as the accuracy, all good.

That's interesting I thought that maybe I didn't get my wire connected good but mine only does it periodically mainly when I'm sitting idling. Guess there's no cure for that huh?

Yes, mainly idling. Not sure why only the boost gauges do it. Glowshift knows about it and its like they don't care. I'm going to shoot them another email.

Didn't have that problem with my Isspro EV2 gauges...in fact it was the other way around; 3-4 feet too long. I just looped the wire up under the dash out of the way (just in case I need to pull the A-pillar for something). And I don't have a light flicker issue.

Well, got the gauges in... The boost gauge does flicker, but only when cold and at a low idle. My problem is the Fuel Sending Unit. Anyone know of a fitting that will fit the test port on the Fuel Pressure regulator? The threads on it are 12x1.5 and the sending unit is 1/8 NPT.

Jim, I ordered mine on Ebay as a complete package thinking it came with everything but it did not. Wires were too short, and no adapter for the fuel sending unit.
Also, the sending unit will not fit very well on the test port because of the Turbo Intercooler hose and the radiator top hose. I am getting a 3 foot Dash 4 1/8" NPT braided hose to relocate it near the wheel well.

Yes, Its a pillar install. It removes the handle on the drivers side.

From Glowshift this morning, We are getting new series in about 6-8 weeks which this issue should be fixed with this new series. What I can do is email you back when we get the new series in, and we can get your gauge back in so we can exchange it out.* The boost gauge is a mechanical gauge so that is why its just that gauge. The other gauges are all electric.
