scott52 Member 188 Member For: 22y 4m 18d Gender: Male Location: Perth, W.A. Posted 04/08/03 01:42 AM Share Posted 04/08/03 01:42 AM I have a boost gauge connected with a tee into the wastegate hose. I don't think I'm getting accurate readings and would prefer the connection to be in the turbo outlet pipe closer to the inlet manifold.Can anyone tell me where to find an alternative connection point?

Guest Rushn Guests Posted 04/08/03 12:59 PM Share Posted 04/08/03 12:59 PM Does anyone have any issues with connecting it to the fuel pressure regulators vacuum line, as the vacuum line on the blow off valve is to large?

matty_03 Member 2 Member For: 11y 4m 8d Gender: Male Posted 21/04/14 05:33 AM Share Posted 21/04/14 05:33 AM Ok . I only ask coz when I connected to the pressure regualuator it went from -10 up to 4psi and coz I have a manual boost controller I turned it up a little to see what it would go to it went to the same amount unless I've connected it to the wrong line Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5189-boost-gauge-connection/#findComment-1466755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
