If 30 is switched hot just put the blue on that fuse and just disconnect the white. I'm planning on running blue all the time also.

I'm going to pull my gauge, disconnect my white white from the red wire. Remove my blue wore from the fuse box and connect it to the red wire behind the gauge. Sometimes if you turn the lights on to fast/soon the gauge won't change colors

Last weekend I installed a 4" MBRP black series exhaust w/ resonator delete, roush mechanical boost gauge with vent pod. This weekend I'm installing the afe stage 2 CAI, afe blade runner, and afe hot side plumbing. As far as the exhaust and gauge....I love the gauge set up and the fact that you have the option of white day time then blue for night. Or you can run one color at all times. install was easy
Only hard part was finding a fuse in the passenger kick panel that wasn't a constant hot. I used fuses 30 and 32. The exhaust was easy as well and did it by myself. If you don't have a lift you have to cut the tailpipe section off. I lost a little low end but not enough to matter. It sounds great at idle. It's not loud and annoying. Unfortunately it doesn't have that V8 growl. If anyone wants pictures of install let me know and I'll post some this weekend.

I have catless SW downpipes with a custom side exit exhaust out the passenger side just before the rear wheel and it makes v8s sound like RC cars. Everyone asks if it's a diesel. And the power gains were very noticeable with a 5star 93 Oct high performance tune/ intake\ turbosmart Bovs.

What tuner are you running and do you have a link to hear the exhaust. Only reason I love my exhaust is bc even at high rpms it's not "screaming" I might try a couple things after I get back from deployment. I've ran out of time to work on my truck. Now it's time to spend money on parts

I don't Have a link not too internet savvy but it def. Screams it's *** off. Even a cold start rattles my Windows. Its def not for most of the people on here but I could really care less about the noise my truck gets parked on My front lawn haven't had a neighbor complain yet and I'm up 5 am everyday for work. I'm gonna get my buddy to send me the vid he took and try to post it but I have no clue on how to do that . it's as loud if not louder than a diesel with 4inch exhaust not kidding. And when you step into it Its pretty unbearable but like I said I could care less and am eliminating problems down the road with frying cats / turbos. Ya gotta let a turbo car breathe .
