best spot for a boost gauge vaccum line

[93laser1g]

does anybody know the best most acurate spot?

You need to be more specific best for what? Im not real sure of your question.

 

[LandoAWD]

Where to tap the t-fitting? Off the FPR.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Thats where i tapped mine.

okay my wiring is all hooked up the lights on the gauge light up. but the vaccum line is not hooked up. i just want to know where to hook it up. can it go on any vaccum line? and can someone show me a picture im not sure which line you are talking about

 

[92AWDHX40]

It goes on the fpr why would you want to put it anywhere else.

 

[Boomdeeze]

The best spot is its own fitting on the intake manifold.

okay i wanna hook it up on the fpr. but i dont know what line. does anybody have a picture?

Damn didn't see you had a 1g...so yours may look a little different

at the end of your fuel rail on the right youll see your fpr. on the top of the fpr youll see a vac. hose follow it up a couple inches and tap in your boost gauge right there, then just run your hose in the cabin. good luck
this is your fpr and the arrow is pointing to the vac. nipple

You should check VFAQ Site - Visual Frequently Answered Questions it will answer almost all the questions you are asking.

okay everything is hooked up correctly now. but my running lights are not working. the peson who owened the car before me replaced all the dash board buttons and connected the wires for the aftermarket gauges. do you think that he spliced into the wrong wires? or maybe disconnected something? he also tried to put in fog lights but they aren't working either, he had them spliced into a line behind the headlight.

think i read on here somewhere to use rtv on the barbed pieces to keep them put and make a better seal to prevent leaks.

What about to install an electric oil pressure gauge? which is better mechanical or electric?

I vote for the electric.. I never wanna a pipe (loaded with pressurized hot oil) in the cabin behind a gauge

This is about a RESOLVED boost gauge install, not oil anything.
