I am running the Aerospace pump as well.. My suction line goes to the passenger cover and my relief valve is in the driver side cover.. I spun a bearing on my 12th pass a year ago during the winter and was running Castrol 20w50. I do not have a vac. gauge, but the relief was suppose to be set on 12.. I am kind of scared to mess with the pump again due to the spun bearings and all. I didn't know if the pump could have caused that or what.. ALL of the bearings looked like total ****.
How do you go about putting a gauge on it??

This is a GZ motorsports pump. The way I was told to check it was off the dipstick tube.

vacuum pump really shine when you have a loose motor and need to get the rings to seal or in big nitrous, big boost applications when blow by starts to be an issue.
