(left or right looking from the from of the car)thanks

(left or right looking from the from of the car)thanks←Your mate need to tell Ford to go f*ck themselves Warranty void for connecting a vacuum line incorrectly, who do they think they are kidding.There are several locations where you can connect the gauge, and personally I have connected mine on the vacuum line that comes off underneath the centre of the plenum, and connect to the fuel tank purge line.Just make sure you connect your 't' on the engine side of the one way valve (little plastic thingy on the line), as you will otherwise see no boost.Hope this helps

I can see how it could cause some damage Fuel reg vac line comes up, lean mixture when boosting.. not good Danny.

Adam Here since the start... Legacy Donating Member 10,282 Member For: 23y 4m 23d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 20/08/06 07:31 AM Posted 20/08/06 07:31 AM I'm guessing that's at idle or on cruise.Go for a drive and any stab at the gas should immediately show an increase of boost.
