    Hey I've tried searching, and I think I got my answer, but I just want to clarify.

    I'm wiring up my E-Level w/ Dual Viair comps (each using an individual relay).

    I picked up a 4 gauge amp power kit w/ 100A inline fuse which I will run from the battery to the trunk into a fused distribution block (1 4 gauge in, 2 8 gauge out w/ 2 60A fuses). Now from the distribution block I assume I should run an 8 gauge wire to each relay at number 30.

    As far as the pressure sensor (yellow wire) would I wire from each relay (number 85) back to the single yellow wire?

    For constant power, would/could that go back into one of the outs of the distribution block (share w/ compressor)?

    For ignition and headlight source, I assume those would need to go all the way back up front and connect up there. Is there a 75x terminal on the MK6? I know there is on the MK4.

    For ignition and headlight source, I assume those would need to go all the way back up front and connect up there. Is there a 75x terminal on the MK6? I know there is on the MK4. Headlights you can probably run it to your running light in your taillight, you just need any constant 12V source that will dim the controller lighting when switched on. Not sure about the 75x but a wire will need to brought from the trunk to the dash
    You are correct, see above for comments

    Thanks for the quick response!

    I'm still just a bit gray on the ignition wire and where it actually is being connected, you know where I should hook that up?

    No idea on the mk6, sorry. You could always tie it into the CCM fuse for a last resort

    I personally take the switch ignition, orange, to slot 42 off the fuse panel on the side of the dash on the drivers side. The headlight dimmer wire (purple) I tap the gray wire off the cigarette lighter.
