Thanks for that info. One more question. Once I get that fitting which line would be best? I know this sounds stupid, BUT I am only installing the gauge for looks so I want easy, if you know what I mean?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

i need help with mine, could you possibly draw me a diagram in paint
i have a Mp t70, a tial 38mm with one vacuum port, a bov with one vacuum port, boost gauge, and a manual boost controller like this, and im using an intercooler

im getting confused on how to run the vacuum lines and really need some help

Back on topic -
Very good info on WG mounting and Vacuum hookup. The use of two solenoids is NOT necessary like most say. I have used a single on 25+ twin turbo cars, most making over 900 to the wheels.

Got a quick dumb question about wiring. I got 3 gauges and power for a DMH e-cutout going in and wanted to put one of those inline fuse deals in. So what I have is the inline fuse comes with 12 gauge wire wheras all of my gauges are about 20 guage and the e cutout is mayb 16 guage. Can I splice them all onto the single 12 gauge wire for the fuse? I was going to throw a 10 amp fuse in it and crimp on a spade connector and plug it into the ACCY spot on the fuse box.

Digging this old one up. Procharged ls1. I'm hooking up a mechanical autometer boost vac gauge. Where do I splice in. I tried on the loupe rubber line from the Procharger ad the larger hose from the Procharger too abd nothing. What do I do ?

i know this is diggn but i need alittle clearer image of where to slip the wires for the gauges through the firewall. i know the first page said somehting like in that little area, but where exactly on the other end?
ill be running a 3 gauge Apillar with a electronic Digital boost/vac, electrical digital fuel pressure, and a MTX-L WB.
Also it was REALLY hard to follow some of the posting about were to reference things toto. let me check to make sure where im going to hook mine up.
Boost/Vac gauge - brake booster hose (after throttle body)
BOV - brake booster hose (after throttle body)
Wastegate - compressor housing (rear mount so kinda limited lol)
Boost referenced FPR - brake booster hose?
was also wondering, anyone running a vacuum manifold or lol/tree to run these various extra reference lines to one source?

ok cool thanks! yeah im trying to get a clear picture on the bR fuel pressure regulator.
what i dont get is, you set it on vacuum and then run it that way when you dont hook up the boost reference line...
what im not understanding is if you set it this way at sya 60 psi in vacuum... how does it drop? the aeromotive br-fpr is suppose to keep the pressure constant unless its boost referenced then it gets 1:1 boost to fuel psi. just wondering if im just not understanding or is everyone regurgitating another internet myth?
