Title: boost gauge
Post by: xodia on 22 August 2012, 20:34

hi guys, i just won a boost gauge off of the fleabay for stupid cheap with all the bits.

its a mechanical gauge which runs from a vacuum line directly to the gauge.

my question is, being electronics everywhere on this car, where can i plumb in to a vacuum line on this car?

there should be a vacuum line going to the actuator from the n75 valve if im correct?

can i plumb in from there?

Nothing available as far as I know - you could buy one of these if you're feeling flush!
