Boost Gauge Mod

Ok all, I did my vent boost gauge mod and I will admit, it looks AWESOME. I am getting about 12 lbs of boost on a stock 180, so everything is good. Here is my question thou.....I have a backlit boost gauge and every connection I hooked up to under the dash is always hot, ie has 12 VDC with ignition off. What terminal can I hook to to have it lit only when the key is in the ON position? Thanks

I tapped into the back of the dimmer switch, so the lights would come on, and dim with, the rest of the dash lights.

Ok, so the 75X terminal is only powered when the key is in the ON position. I figured it out and hope this helps someone else.

Thanks to Modshack for the vent adapter and everyone else for their great input on previous forums.
