I recently bought a boost gauge for my porsche 944 turbo. I do not know where to put a tee in. I have a duel port wastegate and don't know, i did put it right after the MBC arrow going this way "<--" but i think i placed it wrongly in there. Need help who has put one in before on a turbo. I want to make sure i get the proper reading.
THanks!!!

I saw that, so that 1/8 is the new cable that connects in. Then where i connected it already is wrong right?

Just take it off the KLR under the passenger's floorboard.

The only issue I had when doing this is that the line coming off the KLR is hard and brittle with age making it hard to get the T connection inserted.

I used a heat gun on a low setting and got a better seal. I also wrapped it with electrical tape to make sure it stayed together.

I cut the KLR line with a pair of dykes, then installed a small piece of silicone hose on each end, put the T in the middle of those two piece of silicone then secure each connection with a small tie wrap.

So connecting it into the boost lines is not what i wanted to do right?

Is your MBC setup like on the lindsey website? If so then you need to remove your boost gauge tie in that you connected. What wastegate is in the car, Lindsey or something else like a TIAL? Use the line to the KLR in the passenger floorboard.

Someone else chime in... I'm thinking if he's got the boost gauge after the MBC he isn't seeing what the car is boosting at until he hits what ever the MBC is set to.

Your Gauge has to be hooked up before your waste gate and before your MBC, anything after your waste gate will be incorrect readings,and anything after your MBC will only show what your MBC is set for not actual boost seen in the manifold. Id stay away from tapping into te lines to the waste gate because if you have a MBC it can make things complicated plus if the line falls off you go Full boost and you can pop your engine, it's very easy to hook up to the KLR line, Id play it safe and do that
