Gauge installs

[speed3 britz]

Ok so i just got my new prosport gauges. I have a boost, oil press, and oil temp. where do, or have you tapped in to install the sending units? Where on the manifold did you put in the boost line. Im still a noob and never put gauges in before so thats why i ask. Let me know what you have done and possibly pics if you got em. Thanks!

really? a day and then you give up?

you want to route the boost line from a port on the intake manifold. usually tee off from an existing vacuum line on the manifold. for the oil gauges, you can tee off from the stock sender port on the oil filter housing for pressure, and add a tap on the oil drain plug for the oil temp sendor. you might have to figure out the fitting arangments, but those are the spots.

Yea im t-ing off the line that goes to my bpv for the boost, and t-ing off the sensor for the oil. I work at a hydraulics shop, so I get all aeroquip and eaton fittings and hoses for cheap, or free if in salvage

Good advice!
