Autometer Boost Gauge
Hey guys, one more thing, I just bought an Autometer boost gauge, I grounded it and gave it power, but which tubing does the boost gauge reader tap into. I can't figure out if it goes BEFORE the boost controller or after. help thnx
if you are talking about the TUBING that goes to a vacuum/pressure source then you can connect it 1 of 2 places....
1. connect it to the line coming off the turbo. By doing this you read how much boost is coming out of the turbo
2. or you can tap it at the intake manifold. By doing this you read the actual boost going into the motor.
but the just remember that because the turbo is pushing 8psi doesnt mean that you got 8psi going into the motor... your gonna get 2 different readings at different sources
