Recommended Posts

Howdy guys.

OK seein as me car is runnin pretty slow, and I am not feeling much boost whatsoever, I have decided to get a Boost Gauge tomorrow.

Problem is, I only had car a couple of days and got no idea how to plumb one in lol.

Can someone explain to me please how I go about installing a boost gauge, where the pipe goes in the engine, pics would be great, and also how I would go about getting power to the gauge ?

Many thanks.

Matt.

P.S. I bet car's only puttin out about 4psi

i used the dump valve vacuum pipe , you should get a t-piece with the gauge kit.

to light it up run the live down to the fuse box under the steering wheel and place it into the dash lights fuse hole then put the fuse back , for an earth place a ring terminal on the body somewhere with a self tapper screw. read my earlier posts on boost gauges , daktari says there is a better place for the vacuum pipe down behind the inlet manifold thats blanked off with a rubber stopper :blink:
