I just installed my boost gauge yesterday in that same exact spot and it works perfect. I even made my own custom holder cause I used different brass fittings and hose and it wouldn't fit in the single pod.

I figured I'd update this thread, the VFAQ no longer contains even a single valid link to a picture of where to tap a boost guage.

You can tap into the vac/boost hose going to the Fuel Pressure Regulater. Just follow the line from the FPR to the selenoid and Tee into that line. Plus it pretty close to the A-piller so you won't have to run that long of a hose. You can make a hole in the steering colume (sp?0 rubber boot and run the line through there up to where ever you wish to place your boost gauge. That is pretty much what the Vfaq had. I don't have pics but it's pretty simple. I feel you shouldn't have to much of a problem figureing it out.

And I thought I was the only one.

He's one of the primary reasons I don't go to the "other board" very much.

Again, you made my day.

That would have been nice to know, I routed it all the way around to the passenger side wire grommet along with my AVCR's harness, let me tell ya it couldn't have been harder to get that threw!

damn that sucks... I also have a nice hole I drilled right under my brake booster for my fuel pump rewire to go through. You can't see it under the hood unless you really look for it.. If I can't find a Hole I personally just make one.

My vacuum hose gets busted after 10-15 minutes of driwing.
I cutt the succer so manny times that I don't have left anny to connect to the boost gage.
Tried to find vacuum hose in local auto stores with no success.
I think the dia. is 1/8 but I'm not 100% sure.
Annybody knows place where to buy good quality vacuum hose???

Are you running rubber hose? You should get some nylon hose for it. It is almost impossible to break. You can get it a checkers and it comes with the fittings to mount it and what not.

Just a note - if it keeps breaking at the gauge, that means you're over-tightening the compression fittings. Only tighten it down enough to make it air-tight, and that's it!

i am running see-trough nylon hose and i'm not overtightening couse i'm not even able to push it all the way on the brass barb conector. By the way i'm tightening by hand most of the time since i don't have tools with me at all the times in the car.
Even while am pushing the hose on the barb - cracks longitudinal. Than i cut with the razor blade the upper portion of the cracked hose (so doesn't run further down).
