Installing the Gauge
The AEM Tru Boost boost controller gauge requires a standard 2 1/16” (52MM)
ounting hole and can be mounted in a flat panel or most standard gauge pods. The
m
included cable contains
connec t
ts to a mating 5-pin connector on the back of the gauge. See Figure 2. Connec
two wire bundles and a 5-pin connector. The 5-pin connector
the black and red wires in the long 2-wire bundle to the leads from the boost solenoid.
Polarity does not matter. Connect the black wire from the 5-wire bundle to a good
ground. Connect the 2 red wires to a fused, switched, +12Vdc power source. The gray
wire is an optional low side driver output. The orange wire is an optional scramble
boost input. The orange and gray wires do not need to be connected for the gauge
to
function.
