xr6tute Member 50 Member For: 18y 4m 19d Gender: Male Posted 15/02/08 09:53 AM Share Posted 15/02/08 09:53 AM just a quick one boys...I am installing a boost and oil pressure guage. I got the sandwich panel for the oil pressure so that should be sweet, but I am wondering where the best place to tap into the vacum line is? its a mechanical boost guage so just need to put the T piece in the line somewhere...thanks boys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42675-boost-and-oil-pressure-guages/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

xr6tute Member 50 Member For: 18y 4m 19d Gender: Male Posted 05/04/08 09:29 AM Author Share Posted 05/04/08 09:29 AM hi boys,I know its ben a while, but I had a few issues to deal with unfortunatly whick kept me away from my T. I fitted the guages without any major problems, the speco sandwich plate worked really well (a bit fidelly to fit), I cut the vaccum line into the bov, and that worked fine also.one thing though, I mounted the guages in the centre of the dash using an ss pod, but the vaccum line is a very tight fit behind there, I am guessing its gonna crack very soon. have any of you rigged something up to solve this problem. thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42675-boost-and-oil-pressure-guages/#findComment-654890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
