wired up some gauges need a dice on ground and ignition
hello everyone
basically I've fitted oil temp and oil pressure gauges to my erst, have a pillar pod gauge, all plumbing to the sender on a adapter on back of block, tapped into the lights feed from the boost gauge so illuminates nicely.
my question, I'm struggling to work out where to attached the ground wire for the sender, I'm thinking anywhere on the car metal should be ok, just dont know where i can get an ignition feed to attach to that is my biggest struggle right now.
look forward to the replies as ill be cracking on with it tomorrow hopefully

right so hook up to the red wire, use a multimeter to see which gets a feed when turned ignition that sounds good
what about the found, shall i feed from the stereo ground or bolt it to a metal part of the car?

Yes i would say so. As for the ground, I cant say either way will make any significant difference over the other. Go with which ever is most practical/ convenient for you to do.

Ok I knew it was one of them but couldn't remember which without checking, which is why I advised to check with a multimeter before hand.

I've just fitted a cheapo oil pressure gauge, well I say fitted its not mounted, bloody thing says I have 120psi oil pressure.
I'm opting for the gauges in place of the radio and relocating the radio to the centre console.

my cheap gauges and senders came off ebay from china, took over a month to deliver, work well, guess my oil pressure is ok then, does that mean i can mod the engine with more boost???
also is it worth fitting a 'fuel pressure gauge'?
