Where to tap in boost gauge T

[Hyper_Mike]

Hey guys, j
ust wondering if anyone had any pictures of where they have tapped the T peice for thier boost gauge?
Not entirely sure where its meant to go!

Cheers, Mike

Can go of the vac line to the bov.

 

[evo-gsr]

Or off the inlet manifold

 

[Hyper_Mike]

Are both these as accurate as each other? Or is one more preferable?

Mine appears as though it was off the bov, still got the tube there and would assume that the bov position would give the highest point of boost as it thelast point of exit for boost...d

I'll personally be running two, one after TB and one at turbo, might be nice to see if there is a discrepancy. Might give an indication of whether there is a restriction or inefficiency in the intercooler setup or plumbing. Or I might have been licking toads again, shit, I gotta stop that huh!

Haha Benzo, just sounds like your as padantic as most 4g owners.

A brand new decent brand of gauge will be fairly accurate when coming from the blow off valve. The best position for the most accurate reading is what these blokes have said, Benzo and evo_gsr. But you won't be far off at all with one off the blow off mate. T piece into the line does the trick.

 

[Hyper_Mike]

Is this the right vacuum line? This is connected to the valve on the top of the BOV.

Bingo

 

[Hyper_Mike]

Cheers mate! Now just need to find somewhere to mount it so it looks nice and subtle.....don't want it to look stupid or stick out. Any ideas?

Mines on the A pillar, but very very low. Lower then the bottom of the windscreen.

It's lower then it looks in that photo. Also the gauge is plumbed into the FPR hose.

See that gauge under rexhuntas boost gauge. Mines just there mate and it's gotta be the best spot for it on these things I rekon, if you're lookin at buyin one, get one that lights up when you turn your lights on, it really helps in the dark cause mine certainly doesn't light up and it gets annoying.

Last I heard gauges on the pillar in NSW is a no no. But do a search if you want it on there, I had one there on my old cordia and never had a problem but that was years ago now.

Yea I was thinking there but I dunno....I bought a turbosmart boost gauge.
