Hooking up boost to the powerlogger with VDO gauge

[BARRACUDA1968]

I need to hook up my boost signal to the PL and I have read several threads about a green wire behind the glove box that goes to the stock boost gauge in the dash cluster.

My car has a AVC aftermarket dash so I no longer use the digital boost gauge.

My question is since I no longer need to feed the factory digital boost gauge can I just cut the green wire and feed it to my PL?

I have a 3 bar map.

Yes, just tap into the green wire at the MAP plug and run it through the firewall to the PL lug.

Can I grab the wire on the inside of the car? I'd rather not tie in at the map sensor under the hood if I don't have to.

It does eventually go through the FW and lead to the ECM, but where to catch it in between? IDK....Thats all I got.. Sorry.

I think it's a green wire down by the ECM. I'll take a look tomorrow.

The green wire going to the alky kit... its already there on your drivers side. Splice into it and run a wire from it to the input on the PL.
Easy smeezy

Thank you! I will hook it up that way.

Got it hooked up tonight. I spliced in to the green wire at the alky control box and soldered the connection with a little heat shrink.

Hope to log a few runs this weekend.
