Boost gauge tee question

Hey guys

 

Just a quick one on where to get a vacuum source for my boost gauge.

 

I originally had the boost gauge connected in here to this bung circled in green.

I just had the car tuned last weekend and I noticed the tuner disconnected the boost gauge line (red arrow) and reinstalled that tee fitting and left an open end with that short piece of vacuum hose to the left.

If I join the open ended hose to the boost gauge hose will the gauge read correctly?

All it needs is manifold pressure is that correct?

 

Cheers guys

yes, all it needs is manifold pressure... but ensure you have no open lines leading from the inlet manifold.

Looks like they might have forgotten to remove their piece after tuning? Just put it back to the way you had it before tuning or whatever works now. As keefballs said, manifold pressure for the gauge and no leaks :)
