Question Boost gauge help.

Setup: P1SC-1 Procharger with "Big Red"
I am installing an Autometer 5701 boost gauge and I have a couple questions.
1. What vacuum line do I use from the engine or do I have to use one?
2. Does the boost line feed into the BoV?
3. Did you drill a hole in your firewall for the boost lines or is there a hole already there that I can use?


Any help is appreciated

Thanks

At the back of the intake manifold you can get a vacuum source for both the gauge and bypass valve. Some people also split the brake booster line. (which is also attached at the rear of the manifold anyway)

Depending on the location of your gauge you may have to drill. I ran mine down the passenger side to the factory hole where the PCM is and into my center console. Tricky part is making sure you don't kink the line.
