I just bought the defi gauges (boost & oil press) and the instructions do not tell u any info. I dont want to buy the main controller . It has four wires , orange , white , black , and yellow . Which of these are ign , 12v , illum , gnd .
Im guessing yellow is 12v , orange is ign , white is illumination , and black is ground . Need help with this . thanks

 

i am in the same boat as you.. i have been tryin to find the answer for about 2 weeks now... i bought the defi blue racer volts gauge and i have no idea what wire is for what and where it goes.. defi does not make good instructions.. thank u

 

Black is definately your ground.

From doing headunit audio installs and all, I can tell you that Yellow should be your 12v source.

Orange will be your 12V ignition on.

White is your Illumination.

You had it correct!

 

Thanks - i will install them on sunday

 

thanks also.. now i need to know where to get them from..lol.. can i intersect them with the same colors or not? umm sorry for the threadjackin..

 

Where did you buy your blue racer gauges and what did you pay? if you do not mind me asking

 

if ur asking me, i bought it from egauges.com and paid 108 + shipping for the volts gauges.. i kno the boost and oil pres. is about 200 + shipping.. kinda expensive but i like them..

 

I couldve sworn you had to have the defi main unit in order for the gauges ...that was the whole eason i didnt want defi gauges. i dont think they work with out it.

 

thanks for your input......one last question....i have the blue LED gauges in my car already and thats what made me become interested in the blue racer series gauges by Defi. If you have the LED swap in your tC, how do they match to that of the blue racer gauges? I have been really curious about how these will match my interior lighting......let me know if you have any idea....

 

these new ones do not need the control unit and thats why i got it. i know they are alot but everyone else has autometer and i jus wanted something different...

 

ummmm, i dont have the swaps.. but im gessin it will be close..

 

awww ok...well i will have pictures up once i get my turbo installed in about a month...

 

no probzzz

 

cool

 

so anyone know which wires i could hook them up to??? =-)

 

no1 again? jeeze
