boost gauge install
 
well after seeing the turbo neon with the boost gauge, i became jealous.
so i ordered a auto meter boost gauge, my question is where do i tie into for the gauge to work properly?
thanks
Dave

There are 2 sources off the manifold. The best is the fuel pressure regulator if you ever plan to run a boost controller. If you utilize an Autometer gauge, the fitting provided with it is pretty much useless. My favorite method is to take a small piece of the boost gauge hose and buy a "t" fitting that the small boost gauge line slides into on a force fit (Autozone has them). Clean surfaces of "t" and hose and bond with super glue (works like PVC glue). Zip tie the hoses on the "t' to secure them under boost.

Worked great on my last 3 turbo cars. Run the hose through the firewall, tap into your dash lights and mount the pod.

Much more fun with boost controller.
