Will it damage the gauge if it tries to read vacuum?Pictures of fittings would be greatly appreciated Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot down to Sprint Auto Parts and picked up a couple fittings, teed off the vacuum hose from the BOV and all works beautifully.Thanks for the help!
