where can i get a vacuum source to hook up my boost gauge? i know its major rice to have a boost gauge and no f/i... but i have the turbo kit i just need to install it.

the brake booster is too big and the evap is hard plastic... unless i change it from plastic to rubber, i see no way to install it shy of buying an $8 fitting and tapping the manifold.

 

I replaced my factory boost gauge with AEM's digital one. I taped here and I have boost and vacuum now...

 

i wish it was that easy... im not direct injection so i cant use that method.

 

oh yea derr...lol. My bad...good luck

 

You won't be able too.... why don't you just wait till you have your setup on before you install a gauge that does nothing for you right now

 

bc i want to go ahead and get it done so its ready when i put my turbo on

 

im putting a boost gauge in my car now, there should be a small port on the manifold that has a rubber boot on it, hook the gauge to that, im putting on the boost gauge now then waiting for you to finish your build thread to ad the turbo

 

the l61 manifold has the nipple. im a lap so i dont have one

 

how did the boost gauge turn out?

oh crap! i got LAP too, on the driver side of the manifold there is tubing comming out of it, is therea way to use that?

 

it lights up but thats it... i had to go out of state for a wedding before i could finish it.

 

yeah i got LAP too, i didnt install the gauge yet but there is tubing that runs off the intake mani on the driver side.....can we use that to hook it up?

 

i would have to see a pic, but either line will work. just the evap line is plastic and hard to do it with. and you say your manifold has a vacuum nipple?

 

i dont have the nipple, my friend said that he hooked his up witht the nipple but i think he has a L61, so if i cut part of the hard plastic evap line, put in a rubber tubing, then put a vacume T between it, i can install the boost gauge?

 

thats what i did to hook my vacuum gauge up. cut the the line, put the T in there, then ran the tube to the gauge. and its worked for almost a year and half with no problems

 

what does that evap line do?
