Boost Gauge hook up

Where does the boost gauge line tie into the super charger? Are there any diagrams that I can follow?

The short answer is look under the dash, find the line that goes to the stock gauge. Put a T in there and run the line to your new one. There is probably a how-to some where on here if you search.

What if your doing a swap and there isn't a factory gauge? Where does it go hooked up?

Thanks

Any vacuum/boost line connected to the intake manifold / plenum past the blower..

It MUST be after the blower, probably by the blow off valve. (Drivers side, rear of blower)

(I think it’s controlled by vacuum / boost line, unsure. It is mechanically actuated but pneumatically controlled.)

Best bet is to select a vacuum line “plug you’re gauge” and see what happens, oh be sure to plug the other side of the hose connection..

I know of two lines that run on the driver’s side, two distinct sizes, (¼” and 3/8” I don’t remember! One of these might work)


If it‘s hooked up before the blower, it will only show vacuum, but not boost!
