boost gauge, vac pipe
when hooking up your boost gauge some people say hook it off your FPR vac pipe others say put it in the intake? can anyone set me straight on this? i had a qualified mechanic tell me to put it down the intake a couple of days ago however guys off of here have told me to hook it to my FPR vac pipe?!?!?!?
thanks

BOV works by seeing a difference in psi in the intake tube compared to the intake manifold. WHen the throttle door slams closed the intake tubes gets a quick pressure build and forces the bov open until it either equalizes or the throttle is opened (which equalizes it too).
WG boost only, usualyl spring loaded right?

Yeah, just run the wastegate to the compressor side of the turbo. It's much easier, and you will have less line to run. And as for the boost guage, hook it up to the FPR line. I just installed mine last weekend and it works fine on the FPR. Your fuel pressure regulator has a vacuum line going to it. you'll see it when you look at the fuel rail. just Tee into that.
