Rep Power: 607

my boost gauge isn't reading boost. I have a autometer electronic gauge. With the gauge came a reducer, looks like a long nipple ....... and uses a real tiny tube that connects to the tee with another reducer. I am wondering if this is maybe too small and that is why it isn't reading boost.

What did everyone else use for vaccuum hose for their boost gauge???

Though I really dont get your problem but just for information, I had an autometer mechanical gauge in one of my previous cars. It just had one tube that would read both boost and vaccum. That you can plug anywhere in the intake manifold before the butterfly (dont know if you people call it the same). Anyway, I simply drilled a small hole (with the manifold out, then cleaned it) and connected the tube to it. Worked great for me.

My friend had the same problem, where it wouldn't read boost with his autometer.. Dunno how he fixed it, but one day it just started reading it.

still can't get this thing working.

Where did everyone tee into the vaccuum line at ???

I tee'd into the line going from the fmu to the tee in the stock vaccuum line.

I used the 3 way T fitting from SF. Just use the same vaccume that your BOV is hooked to. I have my gauge, bov, and fpr going to the same line.
