How do you plumb in a boost gauge..?

[dave_s13]

I'm getting a guage tomorrow but it'll come with no fittings or pipework. Demon tweeks sell all sorts of fittings & accessories can anyone advise on what bits I'll need and where/how to fit them??

Cheers

Dead easy,

just underneath the throttle cable on the inlet manafold there sould be a blanked off plug. Remove the rubber plug and join the hose for the gauge to it. If you cant get it there (you should though), you can connect it anywhere on the inlet that is under pressure.

I know this sounds stupid but does that ean you could tap it into the intake where the dump valve is normally plumbed into?

yep, but you want it as accurate as possible, actual manifold pressure is best.

I put my dump valve on this nipple, when I get my boost gauge can I just put a T-piece in there ?

Hi,

You can put a T-piece with no pb. On cat engines, there is already a hose. To fit the boost gauge, you must put a T-piece...
