Help Fitting Boost Gauge please


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've wired up and mounted my boost gauge but a little unsure where I fit the t-peice. [8-)]

I have taken a pic and highlighted in green the pipe I think I should split and T-Piece off but not entirely sure and don't want to screw my car up through stupidity. [:$]

Can somebody tell if this is right?

He showed me at Tatton & I forgot[:$][:$][:$]........ knew I should have taken a picture of his instead of thinking I was frikin' rainman and would just remember[:^)]

In theory it can tee into anything on your inlet manifold. Don't know about the newage but the classics have a spare port covered by a rubber cover, my gauge plugs straight on to that.

Just as a thought,

would I be better off t-piece on the vac pipe that goes onto the dump valve? - It's just that the T-Piece seems quite small

Bob (blueboy) initially had probs getting his to work.
that's cause he plugged his into his oil sump

You have not changed 1 bit.

Right, sorry to harp on about this but....................

 I have a T-Piece with 4mm x 4mm x 2.5mm diameters. The vacuum hose on my car is 6mm so I am stuck.

I can't find a T-Piece that has 6mm x 6mm x 2.5mm so the only thing I can think of is to buy some 6mm to 4mm reducers and fit the T-Piece I have. So my question is, will the reduction in diameter of the vacuum hose have a detremental effect on the car?
