i have it grounded to the fuse box bolt , i have my boost gauge light grounded to the other bolt and it works, is this a bad spot? (boost gauge light top, tt bottom)

^ That will mess you up. I have a TT in the mail would you mind circling or arrowing the 75x cable(for power right).

i have the inline fuse hooked up to the 75x (this is the wire from the #6 fuse in box)

hey 20v, I did my ground exactly like yours, its perfectly fine for me.
I hate doing electrical crap

When we cut the blue black cable ,one side goes to 75X with an inline fuse box with red wire but the other end of the wire isn't supposed to be the same wire that was connected to VAG connector? Will we leave the black/blue wire open circut (fuse panel side) and connect the TT's green to the black/blue wire which is on the VAG connector.If its the samee wire why do we use the connector side insted of fuse holder's side ?

the vag i wire is supposed to be hooked up to the turbo timer (green wire)

When you cut the black/blue wire ,fuse side of the wire goes to 75X.What about the other terminal of the wire ,are you leaving it open circut ? or it2s the oposite.

what does grounding a wire mean? can you just attach it to any metal nit or bolt that's on the car? :| yea..I'm an electrician dummy :|

im kind of confused at what you're saying hopefully this clears it up. black/blue wire (cut from fuse 6) is connected to one side of the inline (5 amp) fuse, and then connected to 75x. i removed the #6 fuse and put it in the inline fuse (so now #6 fuse is removed from box and wire is not connected to box)
