nzturbo Member 26 Member For: 15y 4m 6d Gender: Male Location: NZ Posted 20/05/12 01:28 AM Share Posted 20/05/12 01:28 AM Hi, trying to hook up an SAAS mechanical boost gauge.But can only get vacume readings.When on boost only goes to zero. Idling bout -20On my second new gauge now and it do the same thing ! rrrrrrrr.Have obviously searched this and found no answer.Have tried both the following with no joy;" And just T it in between the intake manifold and BOV is probably easiest. Or T it between intake manifold and fuel reg. "is on an 03 xr6T ute with rapid V1 cooler.Does that vacume fitting on manifold have a return valve in it on early NZ BA's ??Can I put a fitting somewhere else perhaps ?thx all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see why it wouldn't register when revving in neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
