Boost gauge and gauge pod
So my next step with this blower is finding a nice but affordable boost gauge. I'm not looking for anything fancy, most likely just a mechanical gauge that comes with everything that I need to get it installed. This is what I'm looking at, does anyone have any feed back on that guageand any technical info on how this is installed? I'm guessing that your linesjust tee into one of your larger vacuum lines such as your brake booster?

RE: Boost gauge and gauge pod
first off, you dont need a boost gauge that reads 35psi. i would buy a boost/vac gauge. one that reads between 20in/hg and 20psi. you just get a t fitting and splice into any vac line. the brake booster line is way to big, a small one will work better.
the pillar pod is nice. i used to have one on my car till i put my roll cage in. the pod interfered with the cage so i had to take it off

Also as stated above, why get a gauge that reads to 35 when you won't be pushing more than 12 or so PSI? That just makes it harder to read your exact level.
