installing BOOST gauge
so i finally took the plunge and bought one of vortechs fine superchargers. i have not gotten around to installing it...tomorrow will be the day..... but i need a bit of assistance with the boost gauge.
i get everything except the part in the instructions where it says plug or tap into the vaccume line of the car... where is the vaccume line.... i know there are many but it needs to be the right one.
any help on where to splice into the vaccume line would be great! the autometer instructions are VERY universal.
thanks eric

wow, i had no idea it was that simple.[&:]
the vac tree is the one that is on the break booster side of the firewall? the vac/boost line that was given in the kit is WAY smaller in diameter than ANY lines off the vac tree... if im thinking of the right one.
the vac line that they gave looks like the size of line that comes from the smog pump diverter valve.
just out of curiosity, could if use the line that goes into the fuel regulator on the fuel rail. i see that that line plugs right into the upper intake manifold
thanks for the replys

RE: installing BOOST gauge
Dude, the install was nerve racking when tapping the oil pan.... that took me forever but the charger is on but i have an underdrve crank pully so i have to order the oem from ford on monday[:@]. then i need to put on the fmu and its good to go.
i have the tweecer rt and i just need to change some timing curves and fuel stuff along with a ricer maf curve and the thing will be ready to run!! i cant wait.
the wideband goes in soon along with the boost gauge on the apillar. im hoping that it will be 100% done.
what kit did you get? what do you need?
