Boost gauge.... read vfaq already

[94TalonKid]

I have been trying to hook this boost gauge up all day. I tried connecting it to the tubes near the driver side firewall like the vfaq says. I tried the 3 top tubes and the one on the bottom to the right. I finally gave up when none of the above worked. I finally hooked it up to the P elbow on the intake and it works but its slow and seems unaccurate. Any help would be appreciated.

You're..... putting a boost gauge on an N/T?

Make sure you don't have any kinks in the line, use a line that won't collapse with vacuum, and hook it to a vac line going directly to the plenum, not on the throttle body.

Hmmm... guess it would help if i mentioned that I bought a 93 AWD TSI and that is the car that I am installing it on. Ill change my profile. Sorry about that.

Thanks.
Should it go into the tube that goes into the top of the Fuel Pressure Solenoid, or the bottom?

that I dont know, because I dont have a FPS hooked up. Just try it both ways

the line that goes to the plenum on the intake, follow the line to the fuel pressure selenoid. im not sure if its on top or bottom, but its the line that goes to the plenum, not the fuel pressure regulator.
