As for taking your eyes off the road; I don't really find myself looking at the gauge that often. I can see it in my peripheral vision most of the time.

I mostly use it to increase gas mileage since I haven't tuned it yet. I think it's a nice simple neat install.

It doesn't adjust in brightness; unless you add a voltage controller to the setup or track down the dash illumination power wire.

Thanks for the tips! Once KB has time to post tips on his install I'm sure I can figure something out. All has been beneficial and I ordered my boost gauge today. Just waiting on the truck now! Haha

I used a fuse tap in the interior fuse box. It is in the right foot area on the passenger side. I think it was fuse 33. The diagram shows you. The reason I did that is I didn't want to splice the factory wiring harness to get into the light switch. It works great though. You put the key in the ignition and it lights up. Then just ground you other wire under the dash somewhere that has metal to metal contact. I'll post some photos this morning.
