Boost gauge in EB

I know I'm new here but I have been lurkin around for a lil while since I bought my EB, like most I didn't understand why there was no boost gauge in the truck, so I decided to put my own in..... sorry didn't think about taking pics during the install......Oh don't mind the 50 psi gauge LOL its actually for a car that im building so I will be putting a lower psi gauge in there

since I didn't have a pillar pod or any pod for that matter I found a nice location next to the radio where they had a thing to put change in







it took awhile to finda good source for the boost/vacuum since there where so many check valves, the location I chose was on the passenger side reat intake, had to splice in before the check valve.





pressure sensor for the boost gauge



tucked and tied the pressure hose





here it a vid of the gauge

Can't tell by your video what's going on, psi wise.

I'd like to see it driving so I (we) can see what's really going on.

sorry I aint been on in a few, but I did what I could

here is one with with the accelerator at about half and no passing gear in auto.

Vacuum usually stays between 18 and 22 while normal driving

here is one at full acceleration
