need boost gauge help
need boost gauge help
I have completed my procharger install now and started it without any guages except fuel pressure, before i drive it i want to put my other guages in which i recieved today. My question is what is a good place i can hook the line into for the boost gauge? if u got pics or anything that would be great. I appreciate any help. I know this shouldn't be in this forum but i know many of u have boost gauges so i figured this is the best place to get a good and accurate anwser. Thanks guys

Any Manifold vaccume line, anything above the intake will show actual vaccume, intake and below will show boost (pressure)

Yep, install a T in one of the vacuum hoses that come off the rear if the plenum. Run a hose off the T to your gauge and you're set.
All of the vacuum hoses attached to the plenum or manifold base are tapped into "manifold vacuum" and will show vacuum and boost.
The only ported vacuum source on the TPI system is the one on the bottom of the throttle body. Do not tap into it. Also, do not tap into the vacuum hose going to the PCV valve
