I'm ready to install my Boost Gauge But I don't know where the best spot to run my gauge from.
There is one spot on the back of the manifold that has and output to a hose I could put in a T but I want to get your opinion. Let me know Craig |

a common place is the farthest line towards the drivers side fender on the firewall, if you follow it down it should go into the manifold, that is where mine is tapped into, just put a T in it and rund your line into that

Sorry to dig this up from so long ago but, I had a question about it. I know where to tap, I'm wanting to use some stock vaccum lines but... I bought my Boost gauge used and it has this small plastic tubing coming out of the inlet/outlet that hooks to the fitting in the back of the gauge. My question is do I have to get a fitting that will fit the stock vaccum lines that I'm using and then take the plastic line and fitting off and put the new one on or do I have to use the plastic line and jerry rig some way to hook it to the vaccum line?

can you snap any picks of what you're talking about? if so we can always host... i'm sure someone else here who is more knowledgable will have an answer with out them... but i'm having a hard time visualizing what you're talking about...
but... i think you should be able to jerry rig, and if it's done right and tight it should be okay... -------------------- game over.

if you use normal sized lines and no fittings you can shove the vaccum line on the and wrap a zip tie to hold it on there and your golden.

thanks for the posts guys, and I really would appreciate it if you could get a snap of what the back of your boost gauge looks like Midwest. Problem being, I was fooling around with some wiring harnesses under the dash last night installing the new turbo timer. I unhooked one and it locked the doors, conveniently, I forgot to unlock them when I was done. Turbo timer works but, the car is going to be locked until around 6 tonight when my uncle comes by with the slim jim. I'll let you guys know then if I figured it out. Thanks for the help

No pics necessary, doors are unlocked and I quickly got the gauge hooked up thanks to your descriptions. Thanks guys, your help is much appreciated and I hope I can do the same for you sometime.
