Boost gauge instalation (urgent)

[Newlogics]

Hi.
Sorry, I know this thread probably blongs to newbie's forum (and it's there as well), but I'm literally sitting next to my comp waiting for an aswer to get to work.

I'm hooking up a boost gauge and have troubles finding pressure port or a place to attach the gauge to...(I don't mean placing actuall gauge, I'm talking about hooking up a vacum line for the gauge)

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

P.S. just got back from Bay Area meet today.....
One casualty (240Sx, not any of the DSMs)

Ask Chris about details, he's got some pics too

Just tap it off the hose coming out of the intake manifold.

There are four vacuum lines coming from the top of the throttle body, is that what you mean ? Any preference as to which one ?

This should give a good idea they have pictures and everything.
Just click on guages.
Hope this helps

on the drivers side of ur engine bay there r two vacuum lines.....(just to the right of the brake booster) the one on the right is the fuel pressure soleniod....tap there its the most accurate place to tap

wow i think you guys are all wrong. you know how theres a vacuum line coming off your blow off valve? u tap into that. that is the most acurate place your going to find.

Thanks to all that helped !!
Instalation is complete and successful.
Now I know I run 12psi boost, despite 14psi that my factory gauge was showing.

As for the most accurate place, I tried both suugested places (BOV line and Solenoid) and got exact same reading, so I kept it at the solenoid, since less piping = less expansion = more acuracy in future.

Thanks.
