DrKrazy Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Ok I have tried a few different spots but so far but have avoided hacking into the wastegate. Had a great place before one of the vacuum solenoids but it keeps causing me to snap the solenoid end off ..So I moved it, But can't seem to get a really accurate (too low) or steady(Bouncing) reading. So where have you guys tee'd into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Straight off the manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 I did that, was really bouncy..maybe it's the el cheapo gauge but didn't do it when I had it installed in line with the throttle body. Worked good there just caused me to snap the solenoid anytime I removed the intake plenum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Boost guage needs to be directly linked to the manifold presure. Otherwise you wont have a proper reading. THe lines on the TB are not really manifold presure...ive done this and it gave me strange readings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subi81 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I agree straight to the manafold, I tee'd mine in where the automatic transmission tap is. I don't have an auto so there was a free vaccum port. Mine has never been boucey at all. I have an autometer gauge. They seem a little lethargic to me.

subaru_styles Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 if you look on the intake manifold there will be a couple "dummy" threaded holes that have a block off bolt wiht a square head on it....unscre it and screw in you fitting there.. i too have an autometer, and it's not bouncy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 I figured it out, turns out my guage is smarter than the installer. And yes I went straight into one of the block offs this time (used the old the brake booster stem from old intake). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
