Wired up the gauge last night. Went red to door locks, white to illum. and orange to IG2 which is fuse #4 on my '13. I saw earlier in the post someone said IG2 was #26 but that says "unit IG2" Does anyone know waht the difference is? Gauge works just fine but on start up it looks just like O.C.D.'s video. Does not match the stock cluster start up. Is the another fuse that gives true switched 12V or is the problem the illum.? I noticed that it seems to happen because the needles on the stock cluster dim before they turn off so the gauge is still getting power, hence the flicker...

IIRC, just pump the brake pedal a few times with the battery disconnected to reset the ECU if you encounter problems w / the car NOT starting after you reconnect the battery. unless you like spark! mine had to crank / turn over for what seemed like an eternity, but it started after... I dunno, 15 seconds? it seemed like an eternity. |

Here's a quick question that I didn't really see mentioned - on the stock sender oil bung - when you guys are taking it out to place the new sensor in - are you replacing the gasket on it or is there one? I was under the assumption that there is a gasket on the bung. I see OCD removed the entire bung, cleaned it up, and then put it back and installed the pressure sensor. Just was wondering if there was in fact a gasket there and if so I would,d imagine it would be a good idea to replace it?

It's not the PSI that matters. Maybe it takes a long time to break down. But it will eventually break it down. I'm just the kind of person who would rather do it right the first time than take the chance that it'll start leaking.

Right but I thought there was a gasket that went under the bung - this to be more precise:

Could anyone maybe post a picture or explain how exactly to get from the engine bay through the fender well grommet into the cabin? Specifically from the engine bay. I couldn't figure out where the wiring from the sender unit would route down through the fender well. Is there some place I'm missing hidden under the battery or do you have to remove something in the engine compartment to gain access to the grommet from the engine side of things?
Also, did anyone have any trouble using the T-line thing on a STi application? The BPV line is a little more confined and tightly squeezed right off the BPV, I'm foreseeing some issues getting the T-line in successfully without kinking the tubing either to the BPV or off of it and to the sender unit. |

As show on the first page, Remove the liner by the drivers wheel. Then route the cables down into that plug. The plug leads into the cabin under the electrical panel. I have a 13 sti and the DEFI T did not work for me. I went and bought a T that had two different sizes on it to fit both the stock hose and the defi hose.

Is there any kind of specifications to look for in a "T" like you have purchased? I'm not sure if they have to be rated for a certain amount of pressure or anything? Would you by chance remember where you purchased the T and what size endings you opted for? I'm guessing Home Depot might have what I'm looking for? |

This thread is what I used for my Defi install. Thanks OP for taking the time for this write up and thanks XLUBEN for directing me here. Worked out great!

Once you pull the liner your routing will be obvious. As for the "T" fitting it should be provided with your boost gauge. The standard size "T" for tapping into the bpv line is 1/4". The one provided with most kits has a restrictor pill in it for the hose from the sending unit (electronic) or to the gauge (mechanical). The restrictor pill acts as a dampener. Without it some gauges will vibrate or ocscillate. |

**UPDATE: Previously thought 1/8" was the correct size for the DEFI tubing (per poor recommendations by others in this thread) but in fact the fitting of the DEFI hose is a little too loose around a 1/8" end so the correct size for that end would be 3/16" for a snug fit. I was going off of what people said earlier in the thread who clearly were just speculating and hadn't actually test fit these actual tees. Hence, why it pays to do your own research rather than blindly follow someone elses unfounded advice.*** I couldn't find any at home depot or autozone/advance auto parts so I found some online that I had to order: [Removed old websites directing you to the wrong purchase.] I also purchased a set of ATM (mini) fuse taps rated at 20 amps as well as some 3 amp fuses from Ebay. I got them off Ebay because I could not find either of these at any auto parts store around me and the highest rated fuse taps I could find were rated for 10 amps, which would force you to use 10 amp fuses in place of 15 amp fuses for some of the OEM fuses/circuits. I didn't know how this would affect the original circuits so I opted for higher-rated fuse taps; this way I am able to retain any of the OEM 15 amp fuses I encounter. Also, I could not find any fuses lower than 5 amps at the store. I'm sure 5 amps would be okay for everything, but I read you wouldn't want to use a fuse too high in amps for the gauge circuit so I opted for 3 amp fuses.

Thanks man, Good insight into ordering the T online. I search for a good while and still couldn't find anything. I ended up using a trim to diameter piece for the time being until I found a replacement T.

Anyone have issues with the headlight stalk contacting the left side gauge, completely preventing the stalk from going into the High Beams - Locked On position?
