Help Install of Electronic Pro Sport Boost Guage

We recently purchased a pre-owned Pro Sport Electonic 59 mm Boost guage, unfortunately no directions were available. I telphoned the vendor - Fastmini.com, but they refused to send/link me directions, T fitting and tubing so I could install it. Said "I was not original purchaser so I was on my own.".....

I guess I can get some of this stuff at an Auto Zone, but I still need directions.

Does anyone have some Pro Sport directions in their garage I can borrow or get a copy of ( PS: My Adobe-pdf is acting up )

Thanks for any help.

I'm assuming it like any other electronic boost gauge here. If that's the case, follow any other directions for a boost gauge. The only difference is, instead of running the air line right to the gauge, just run it to the sender, and mount that sender somewhere in the engine bay. Then just run the output wires to the gauge itself. If you have any other problems, feel free to PM me.

Altaminiperformance is kind enough to put the directions on their website... here is a link http://altaminiperformance.com/share...ampinr202w.pdf

They are super friendly and a great vendor, as a "thankyou" for their directions could always buy something fun!

Thanks TYF ! I have made two purchases so far, Alta 17% SCP and Alta CAI. You can't beat their quality and performance.

I am having issues with my PDF Files. When able to, I can down load pdf files by saving them - then opening it sucessfully. But when I attempt to open a pdf directly from WEB, it takes forever and ultimately my computer seizes up on that task and not able to open it. Thanks anyways for taking the time finding the link, and sending it here

I will cruise threads here for typical Boost guage install and maybe that will be of some help.

We bought this for some father/son "quality time" MINI upgrade fun, but has been put on back burner for over month now waiting for NAM seller to provide directions ( Everything Included sale....") Not.........

Thanks Groovetini !

Great idea, will check threads here as we don't want to start cutting wrong hose lines ect

I also have like 6 diff colored wires off the back, I figure one for power for lights, one ground, and one for pwr for guage ?, but there are a few extras including a green and orange wire.......have no idea what these hook up to.

NAM seller apparently could care less too..... I pm'd him dozens times when it was sent minus; tubing, t-fitting and directions...., Been like a month now, still waiting ~ CAVEAT APTURE ! ~ ( Buyer Beware )

INSTALLED - PROSPORT INC of Florida was gracious enough to send a JPG diagram of install instructions for wiring...Thanks for everyone's input !
