Re:Boost Gauge

i pull the vac line outa my intake manifold that runs to the throttle ease spring, since i pulled the spring anyway, and just pushed it about 4" into there and sealed around it. works well for me.

Re:Boost Gauge

There are plenty of vac lines located on the Intake Manifold. Just Tee off one of them. I Tee'd mine off one located right under the "PGFI" label. One runs right above the throttle spring, and there's another to the right of that one that will work too.

Re:Boost Gauge

no you dont weld a fitting in, just tap into your intake manifold somewhere.. off you fuel pressure reg/pcv sys/ fast idle controller.

people make things so much harder than it really is..

Re:Boost Gauge

What are you talking about? Why not do what Autometer does? Tap your intake manifold, drill a hole for a -4AN fitting, well the adapter, screw in the -4AN fitting then run your line to your boost gauge.. DUH!
