e a s y...
took about 30min max to install my Defi boost gauge and control unit... Could be done in 15minutes but took most of the time hiding the wires as clean as possible... I tapped the vacuum line on the diverter valves and fed the wire thru the driver side exactly like this.. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133987 Hope that helps

I did mine a few weeks ago.. Its not hard. Just take the trim of carefully so you don't damage anything. Some good advice would be to cover your screw driver with electric tape so it doesn't scratch the interior trim.
Be careful when pulling the shift knob so you don't hit yourself in the head. Mike |

Hey! Thanks everybody for the offer of help!
I installed it, but I found that it was REALLY hard to get the stock vacuum line off the Y splitter under the hood. Also, I'm so dumb that I can't figure out the dimmer switch with all those resistors and capacitors!!! One last thing is... the little cubby cover that covers where the cig-lighter thingy is doesn't open as smooth anymore. I double checked for wires blocking where it wuold open but nothing. Any ideas? Maybe needs a bit of WD40 on the hinge??? |

maybe you shift the whole ash tray unit? 4 screws holding the unit..try to loosen up the screws and see if it open and close smoothly.
