Installing Marshall Boost Gauge in 2008 MSC

I did the install this weekend. First, when connecting the amber light, it is not a grey wire with a pink stripe - it is a red wire with a barely visible light grey very thin stripe. The power on hot wire was the cigarette lighter, and I grounded to a nut and bolt above the steering column. I had to remove the OBD outlet bracket just under the dash to get to the wire harness. You only need to remove the screw closest to the door - the other screw just needs to be loosened, then the whole OBD housing lifts up and out of the way. Everything is star style drivers - no Phillips heads. The tight working quarters made the job unpleasant.
The connection to the pressure regulator under the inter cooler required that I purchase another elbow fitting, connector and section of hose. Craven Speed says they send you everything that you need to do the install. Not true.
If you try this, email me and I would be happy to relay my experience.
Ted
