Boost Gauge Install?

[hello2000]

I am sorry for being such a newbee. I need help with my boost gauge install. Does anyone know where I can find a boost gauge how-to? I have an APC Boost gauge. Thanks for your help

i dont know about a how to...but if the gauge is mechanical, just tee it off with one of the vaccumm lines coming off the intake manifold

Where is the vaccum line?

Search for "boost gauge install" There are several threads with detailed pictures. These helped when installing my gauge.

Theres a how to guide on this, and vacuum line diagram under the hood...


edit: theres no "how to" in that section, but theres a million threads about it.

Maybe someone should just write a how-to to save all of the people having to ask.

Find a vacuum line that comes off the manifold after the throttle body. It has to come off this side or you won't get a true reading of your boost loading. Splice it with a T and hook it into you APC. Use thread sealant. You don't want an annoying swoosh coming from your APC.

I just tapped onto the Intake manifold..There is a vaccum line which connect from the intake manifold..to the cruisue control..i tapped it there! Than ran it to the right..and into the hole in the firewall!

Easiest way!

Thanks for you help, but I asked my uncle and he showed me where to install it. I hope this helps someone else that was as puzzled as I was.
