Ok....here goes.
I will be attempting to install this red LED in place of the "TURBO" light on my 1g-gte tach. Not sureif it will work or not, but I am thinking of wiring the positive to the pressure signal wire of the stock boost gauge and then grounding the other end.

Someone stated to me that the gauge gets upto 5 volts.....and my results should be, if everything goes well, is that this LED will light up as soon as the Supra hits a certain boost level... lol.

I know this is lame, but its purely for shits and giggles.. lol

If the results aren't what you're hoping for try adding a comparator with a potentiometer to the equation.

Red prolly will be brighter. and hes gonna have to dig into the dash anyways.

:1zhelp: *I* wouldn't want a "super bright" RED LED coming on when I hit full boost. In fact, the less red lights that come on, the better!!! :biglaugh:
