32gtr Boost Gauge Install

[Mike__]

Hi guys,

Have a mildy modded 32gtr that im going to be hooking up an aftermarket boost gauge 2 as soon as it arrives, just a little unsure where to tap into. My ball/spring type bleeder gets its pressure feed from the vacuum line for the factory guage (off the back of the head going to that small black box). I know i can tap into this line but i'd rather another source, thought the ball spring type bleeder might effect readings or incase theres a small leak i'll have another boost readout.

Have read about people tapping into the fuel pressure reg line but i'd rather a line a little more out of site.

The factory boost solenoid is still connected (restrictor removed), will the line that had the restrictor in place provide an accurate reading? vacuum line to the carbon cannister?

I know this is something simple and have installed boost guages be4 but this car has that much wiring/lines i want to make sure i get it right.

thanx

Mike

you can using any vac line coming off the plenum, i.e after the throttle body

i know a mates that done that and It fine so far

ideally you would run the boost controller straight from a nipple on the cooler piping. keep it short and safe

it makes sense to run your new gauge from a tee in the factory gauge too.

i jus connected mine up to the line that goes between the intake manifold and the nipple on the BOV, seems to work ok...
