(left or right looking from the from of the car)thanks←Your mate need to tell Ford to go f*ck themselves Warranty void for connecting a vacuum line incorrectly, who do they think they are kidding.There are several locations where you can connect the gauge, and personally I have connected mine on the vacuum line that comes off underneath the centre of the plenum, and connect to the fuel tank purge line.Just make sure you connect your 't' on the engine side of the one way valve (little plastic thingy on the line), as you will otherwise see no boost.Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
