What vaccum lines do i hook up for the boost gauge? I had it into the one going into EGR and the one with the little blue and white ufo looking things on it (FMU hooked up to that one) They are only reading vaccum...

Haha! Whats up bro! I am thinking about running the line through the hole in the firewall under the pcm. I just wanted to see if anyone else took the "long road" when routing their line. You got the heads on?

i tapped into one of the fittings on near the PCV valve on the driver's side of the intake. The blue-white thingies are one-way check valves. You can't have any of those between the intake and your gauge or between the intake and your FMU or you'll never read boost.
