    Thanks bud yeah I read that elsewhere it was more the 12psi and dropping to 7psi that I was interested in.

    There is a LED memory wire for the gauge which I might disconnect from its current location on the back of the cig lighter and run it off of the memory wire on the headunit (presuming this always has a small current). The problem is when I shut the car or lights off my gauge defaults back to green and obviously when I shut the lights/car off the cig lighter doesn't have permanent power, must be the problem...

    i have checked the wiring and tried it different ways as well - might just be a dodge gauge but i can't be bothered returning it.

    As for stats, i seem to idle at around -20 vac and under full throttle it will boost to 12psi gradually dropping to around 7psi steady - is this normal?

    I replaced the water bottle lines + new hose clamps and plastidipped my front grill on the weekend, only because I had a can of it laying around. I may do my other badges as well but I am still not convinced on how durable this plastidip stuff is going to be...
