Boost Gauge Tapping: THis seems like a better way

[focusedrage]

ok a boost gauge is basscly a pressure gauige right? so why not jsut tap a hose right in to the manifold, or right into the TB elbow? this seems like the most strait forward way?

How you gonna do that? drill and tap a hole? were are the metal shavings from the drilling going to go? Into the engine! It would only be a good Idea if you had the manifold off the car.

 

[focusedrage]

well what abou thte elbow, or does it have to be after the tb? also ther are lots of regualr vacum ports why not jsut uses thos

Why not just hook it up in the usuall places? Like the fuel pressure sol. line or the line that goes from the BOV to the manifold.

Someone needs to give you the "Idiots Guide for using the Internet 4 DUMMIES!"

You can use the TB ports, or tap the manifold for a boost gauge. You are making things harder than you need to. Use the FPR solenoid.

here what I did, get a little creative, went to homedepot and made a rock solid t- fiting

that picture looks exactly like mine, it looks so similar its freaky, heh. is that in the fuel pressure solinoid?

 

[focusedrage]

ok ok, man whats up with this raging on my spellin, yeah i gues i ll do it the normal way, probably the line that goes to the BOV

 

[95talontsi]

yeah it's the line to the fuel pressure reg, thats supposed to be the most accurate line.
