Is it one that changes colour? - i had 1 of those on the last scoob and 1 wire was earth, 1 was switched live and the 3rd was a constant live so whichever colour was selected would stay until it was changed

I pulled the panel to the right under the steering wheel to wire it upto

unless its a digital Boost gauage and the Orange wire is to go to the sender....... More information is needed here.

Does it come with a Pipe that goes onto the back of the Boost Gauage? or does it come with the sender?

make and picures may help

Sounds like you wired it upto the permanent live rather than the ignition live.
