Where to run a boost line for aftermarket boost gauge?
 
As the title says, where should i run the boost line for my boost gauge. Should i go directly to the hard pipe or find a line inside the cabin (put a T in it and run it that way?? idk) Thanks in advanced. Also if i can run it off a inside line can you snag a picture if you have one!! :) :)

There is a line right on the passengerside inside connected to the computer. Just T it. But i couldn't figure out how to run it under the paneling to my center console so if anyone has any advice on that let me know.

Yeah - just use the klr line.
Are you driving that thing yet?

Just got the motor back from the shop today :)

So where is this line is it up behind the dash? I see a line next to the drivers seat under that carpet that looks like a vacuum line but i'm not sure.

NO. the klr is behind the kickpanel in the passenger footwell. The line is attached to the klr with the smallest banjo bolt this side of the Kuiper belt

Don't do use that line. Everytime someone turns on the heat you'll blow a donut!

Follow special tools description. Its under the passenger side kick panel. Behind the black piece of wood. You'll see to metal boxes, DME and KLR. KLR has the vac line on it.

Is there any real advantage accuracy wise on running a separate vac/boost line from a 5-port mini-manifold like Laust is selling? I was going to get one anyway for the venturi delete. I've always hated 'T' connectors and really dont want anything possibly effecting the signal to the KLR. My gauge will be on the steering pod so I figure I might as well pass it through a grommet under the drivers side. Is this overkill trying to get the dedicated reading directly from the manifold?

Sleeved to 100.50mm :roflmao:

Sorry, i coudn't help it........

If you don't want to place a "T" on the KLR line, you could use the FPR or Laust's intake vacuum........they both get the source from the intake (KLR, FPD).

But the plumbing distance is just shorter (and simpler) with the KLR.....(as SP mentioned)

No we sleeved to 100.00 :p

ok so from the KLR it is!

Theres a nice gap behind the stereo headunit to run all kinds of stuff. Be neat about it and youll never notice unless youve got your head under the dash.
