If its a manual boost gauge you'll have a boost pipe which plumbs into your erm boost pipe work lol, and 3/4 wires. There will be an earth, switched live (ciggy lighter etc) and a couple others. My manual gauge had 3 wires iirc.

Without MY help, yes, but as I remember it, someone else did the work while YOU "helped"?

Ahaaaa, on the contrary now you see I did the soldering and used the circuit tester. The help was with fiddly bits of trim and passing stuff about.

Game, set and match dear boy

You did it yourself? Nah.

Soldering? Nah.....you'd be scared of getting a shock.
How come I have to do all the soldering when you come here? And who soldered your AFR gauge wires?

2-0 to me.

Under your wife's instruction due to your bloody glass back The same back you're ruining in France fighting with hornets nests

We both know you don't disobey her who must be obeyed
