I think its what my boost controller is connected to but wana make sure. Can any1 help, any1 got pics of the intake manifold and where i should be connecting the gauge to.

I did mine last weekend. I used the hose where the fuel rail ends and goes back to the pleneum, but my brother said if it stuffs up, it could fry your engine.

so i moved it to where the pipe that goes to the BOV and tee it of there. You can basically use any hose that has vacum/pressure.

Didnt have a camera to take pics. can do it this weekend.

so i can basically use any vacum/pressure hose? Wheres the place most people put it but?

seriously if you can't recognise an intake manifold on your car, you should have someone more experienced with you before you alter anything on it.

- the ole fashion way of doing it. seems to work fine.

on your knees

- common practice in churches

see how u got that pipe running over the top of your engine ..and it goes into that big bendy shape thing.. thats your intake and intake manifold ...on the back towards your firewall ..u should have a fitting on the back for your standard boost gauge....now depending on what boost gauge u have ..u should b able to tee into that .. or remove the standard fitting and fit the new on in thesame hole.

yes?

ok lookin at the engine from the front it should be in left back corner next to firewall, right? im jst confused coz sum1 told me to connect it the hose connected to the boost controller.

The only hole to get thru the firewall is on the right hand side when lookin at the engine from the front so i have to run it around ay.

seriously man its not that hard.

find a vaccum/boost line, T-piece into it and you're done.

again if you dont even know what an inlet manifold is or how to Tee in a boost line then you shouldnt be working on your car! Asking questions on a text based forum isnt going to help much either.

Somthing with a bit of Vac-cum-e.Many places to tee from.take to mechanic.Like the old man said get a pro to do it mate.
