Which hose did you -T- into for your Boost Gauge, The Fuel Pressure Line or the Bov to intake manifold line? I hear that if you tap into the FPR line and the hose pops off under boost u can blow up your engine from running to lean? But most people that I have talked to still seem to be running thier gauges from the fuel pressure line. Is there any Pros/Cons to either such as more consistant and accurate readings or quicker response?

 

I used the fuel pressure line. If you connect everything correctly you shouldn't have to worry about it blowing off.

 

I would also tap it off the FPR but luckily I have an MR so I simply tapped into the factory boost gauge vacuum line.

 

I run it off the DV/BOV line. Reasons: If it does come off - no harm done. And you are pulling away a small amount of air from the FPR. If I had a choice on what I would rather pull air away from - its going to be the BOV. The function of the BOV < function of the FPR.

 

My stock MR gauges were tapped into the FPR hose.

 

In the dv line here. When i was tee-d into the fpr, some times my gauge wouldnt read rite away and it got annoying..

 

switched sources today from fpr to BOV line and I seem to have more vacuum pressure, other than that no noticable differences

 

^^make sure and use plastic tie straps on the hose and yes that is the one to use

write up in install page documented this install

 

Bump

 

Any1 else?? I know all you guys are running boost gauges! Please share where you tapped your source. Seems like we have alot of people Teeing into different sources. Maybe Ill put up a poll to see what the majority of you guys are taping into.

 

i used the bov it was recommended by Speed Element for me but u can use the FPR

 

Bump.. for more replies

 

poll posted, please vote!

 

Bov line for the same reasons others have posted.
