Boost Gauge installation...

[EnjoyMinuteMaid]

So I know how to install the boost gauge, but, after doing searches for a couple of hours, I have only confused myself in regards to the necessary accessories. So perhaps this could be added to a how to or something. But aside from the boost gauge itself (not including the electrical wiring), what all is necessary to connect it to the brake booster line? where can these things be found? (what type of vacuum hose, sizes, npt fittings, etc.)

the search button or just looking through the how-to section works wonders, but here you go i made it easy on you.

This one's easy - I even have a pic at home I can send or post. Searching works wonders as well. Get a "T" adaptor from an auto parts store, along with about a foot of vacuum tubing. Use a ziptie (black UV resistant) over the junction just to be sure. Attach the "T" on a vacuum line (I don't remember which one I used, almost anything that comes off the manifold is fair game and there's one on the middle toward toe driver's side that worked great). Dim lights as above. The hardest part for me was deciding where to put the gauge. PM me as a reminder and I'll send pics when I get home.

call cullen at **********.com and get his brake booster kit, i used it and works great, makes two reliable vacuum sources so you dont overuse the other ones. bc your car will run like shiat if you put your EBC/MBC, gauge, bov, etc etc all on one or two lines.

You want the boost gauge to be reading as close to the manifold as possible. I know there's not a bunch of extra ports... but you don't want to be running that off of a block.
