Drill and tap when you can trace and find an existing T that would not even need to be cut?

ok well i think i got it straightened out. I did apparently have it connected to the right line(s). i think i just have a bad gauge. My friend had a cheap harbor freight boost/vac gauge that i hooked up to the same line and i show 5-5.5 lbs of boost at WOT which should be right on considering im running LT headers and no mufflers right now. interesting thing is that im showing 22 lbs of vacuum at idle....

anyway here are the 2 locations i tried to run the signal line. they connect at a port on the back side of the intake manifold. i dont know if its the same setup on the intercooled roush though...

Carlosc04- Both systems are similar in construction but the path of air differs. You need a source with a port that opens into the LOWER intake. Just remember the Saleen blower discharges UP into the lower intake.

I hooked mine into the line that attaches to the fuel rail sensor on the drivers side. You will need a "T" fitting and possibly an adapter to fit it up. I have the non-IC kit too. I see vacuum and full boost. My boost gauge is electronic (AEM), and I have the boost sensor for the gauge mounted under the hood close to the sensor. I would not recommend this setup for a mechanical gauge with a long tubing run. IMO
