a hole.... rub it in why don't you

i'll keep an eye out

ask Juan @ highboost

You can buy a tubing kit from 42draftdesigns.com, they have them for stewart warner gauges. I doubt there's a difference between the fittings.

Edit: Here you go, maybe someone else can verify if it will work with your setup. (peep)

check napa thats where i bought my vaccum lines for runing my boost gauge on my msp. they also got fittings if you need that would probably work or go to checkers and talk to cherry she would know also since she still has her turbo civic.

doh.. too late. I bought it from those 42draftdesigns guys.

only like $15. I just need to figure out how to install it now. Where to I tap to get a boost source?

 

[mdl247]

one of the easiest ways is to tee off before the stock bov. thats what i did until i found someone had it at another place then i moved it.

Just make sure theres no leaks around the Tee. I ended up zip tieing all the rubber hoses to the vacuum lines/tee on mine. I'm shocked that the gauge didnt come with the line. Mine did back in 2003.

I bought it used. Can someone point out where to install it on this picture?

What do you mean 'route back to the intake manifold?" dont I just splice into that?

 

[PRO 5]

Yeah that line pointed out in the pic is the vacuum line to the bpv. It should do the trick. Just tee off that line and you're golden.

Thanks Dave!

i meant splice in that line and route it back that direction. i zip tied mine to that line to keep it out the way

Did you get it working yet?

waiting for parts to come in..

 

[Nutari]

got the boost gauge kit from 42 draft designs.

ok.. the tubing is really small. I dont think it goes where you guys thought it did.

first two are without the cover .

third is where I 'think' it should go

last is the difference between the tubing and where you guys said it should go..
