mechanical boost gauge...
I am trying to install my mechanical boost gauge today, but I am unsure which vacuum line to tap into. I already have the gauges vacuum line through the firewall, I just am clueless as to what to cut and TEE into...any help would be great and if you have a pic of the line for you...
you guys are aweome and thanks ahead of time

And +1 on the fpr, thats where I tapped mine
I got it in last night, thanks guys. I did try to search in the how-to section, and I am not sure if its the computer here or what, but i couldnt view any of the link for write-ups. Appreciate the help again
You may have already said this, but what mechanical boost gauge did you get? Autometer?
no I went with glowshift...they were cheap and match my dash gauges (Trustz gauges)...I will more than likely move on to something nicer/better down the line, but right now I just got it so I can put my boost controller on....im happy so far.
Just tap the FPR line and don't look back. The hard part of installing a boost gauge IMO was drilling through the firewall. There's a nice, clear spot right next to the throttle cable. The back-lighting wiring took about 5 minutes once I got the ground wire connected. Fairly easy mod, but I did a bit of research before I started slicing things up under the hood.

yeah I tried to get to it, but it was more work than I wanted to do to run a line, so I drilled behind the clutch and brake pedals into an open space, then ran it up and across the firewall and down to the intake manifold...
I just put it up sort of temporarily, I am going to get under there and clean it up today or tomorrow so it isnt as noticable.
