does anybody know how to install a boost gauge

Does anybody in the area know how to install a boost gauge. I have the faze style gauges. It's currently hooked up but not to the boost just to vac. I was wondering where to connect the wires to what to see the boost. Any help would be great. - Mike

Re: does anybody know how to install a boost gauge

The vac side is working but the boost does not work at all. Last year when I had the gauges installed the guy said he hooked up the gauge for the vac. This year I had a turbo put on. Should the gauge be reading the boost when it comes on then? Dont I have to connect a wire or something to the turbo??

Re: does anybody know how to install a boost gauge

is the gauge mechanical or elec.? if its mechanical, it should be reading both vac. at idle/low rpm, and boost when you get into it. if its elec. and there's a sender, the sender or gauge itself could be bad or not hooked up properly.

Why go through the hassle to put it in the intake piping? I had mine Tee'd into a factory vaccum hose coming right off the intake manifold. Very simple to do really.
