best source for switched 12v power???
I am about to install a greddy profec B into my 90TII. Where is the best/easiest location to get the required switched 12v power? Thanks.

I dunno myself. My friend hooked mine up to some radio power wire and now mine only comes on with the lights off. If I turn the lights on my BC turns off I'll fix it once I get my car back on the road though

There are sooo many places to chose from. The fuse box, ECU, CPU, ignition switch, indicator switch, wiper switch, warning lights, stereo, cig lighter, etc. Just get a circuit tester or multimeter and probe the wires until you find a wire that's hot with the ingition on and dead when it's not. It's that easy. Wiring diagrams (Haynes or FSM) make this even easier.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll probably go with either the stereo or cig lighter. BTW: When setting the pins on the back of the profec B. Should I even waste my time NOT setting for the overboost condition? Do our cars typically have the problem and need it switched to this setting anyway?
