scott52 Member 188 Member For: 21y 3m 26d Gender: Male Location: Perth, W.A. Posted 04/08/03 01:42 AM Share Posted 04/08/03 01:42 AM I have a boost gauge connected with a tee into the wastegate hose. I don't think I'm getting accurate readings and would prefer the connection to be in the turbo outlet pipe closer to the inlet manifold.Can anyone tell me where to find an alternative connection point?

Guest Rushn Guests Posted 04/08/03 12:59 PM Share Posted 04/08/03 12:59 PM Does anyone have any issues with connecting it to the fuel pressure regulators vacuum line, as the vacuum line on the blow off valve is to large? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask coz when I connected to the pressure regualuator it went from -10 up to 4psi and coz I have a manual boost controller I turned it up a little to see what it would go to it went to the same amount unless I've connected it to the wrong line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
