boost gauge install problem

[91gsdohc]

i have read up on a couple forums and vfaq and i still cant seem to find out where to T the gauge and what T to get. all the fourms ive read i think there for the 2G because i cannot find what they are point out. so if you direct me or show me where i cant T the gauge that would be helpful, also where i can pick up the T because i went to autozone and could not find one that would fit the boost gauge house. thank you for your time

T into the vacuum line between the intake manifold and the fuel pressure regulator.

That's the line I tapped into for my Boost Gauge. Only problem it seems bigger until you cut it, It's very small inside haha! had little trouble putting on my T but once I got it on it's solid! - Ryann

I'll make this very simple for you. Here is a picture I just took off of my 1g. T into the line that runs from the intake manifold to the fuel pressure regulator. I used a 4mm vacuum line which is comparable to 5/32".

Well it's not a install kit, My gauge came with everything I needed to install in.

I hope this helps! This is where I tapped into mine! - Ryann

What is this house that you are looking for? Do you mean hose as in vacuum line?

Also I don't understand how you don't see the vacuum line in that picture. I'm not hiding it, I promise.

Yes that is the line. I'm sorry, I guess my 1g isn't a good example as its not exactly stock anymore. I eliminated that solenoid pack there, all those vacuum lines, my cruise control, a lot of the wiring harness, and I moved the coil pack. That's why there is more room in my picture. That is the line you want to tap though.

alright man thank you.. but at least you know why i was confused with everybody's pictures but alright thought so just wanted to make sure

so know i just need to find a T that will fit that, i bought a pack of 3 or four brass Ts and none of them are small enough so can i ask where you got yours (i went to autozone)

 

[9!'clipseDOHC]

Well I got mine from a friend who ordered a bunch from McMaster-Carr because its threaded on one side. I'm sure you could get a regular vacuum line T at auto zone though. They are plastic, not brass.

i only got the brass because i wasnt sure of the size and there was a couple in there, the only other one was a rubber T and it looked to big.

 

[jed344]

least your finding the best place to do it. i see people do it on there bov line... most accurate is that one same line i have T off of on my 2g

 

[91gsdohc]

i knew the hose i needed to use i just couldnt find it that good.. and if im going to do something im going to do it right.
