Boost gauge install
Monday, March 05, 2007 4:47 PM
Hey guys, ive searched and searched, and couldnt find a pic of exactly where I would hook up a boost gauge. I am going to be supercharging it, and figured id start the early preparation. Maybe someone could circle or show me where the nylon tube should go for the hookup.

od1z24 , please fix that map sensor for the boost gauge , the line has to point straight down

even tells you to mount it that way in the instructions

No you do, it's your fuel pressure regulator. Look on the right hand side of the fuel rail. You need to ADD the "T" though, it's not already there.

Yea, I think I got it. I have the barbed t. Is it the tube that comes from just beneath the throttle body, looks like its on the intake mani? Maybe you could post a pic of an eco motor and circle where I need to do this. I just dont wanna f something up for no reason. Thanks for all the help.
