HOW TO INSTALL A BOOST GAUGE

okay guys not sure if it was covered but I couldn't search it so I am going to do a DIY guide on installing an aftermarket boost gauge. First off you need the equipment. I picked up all from Autozone yes I am cheap lol.

1x Boost gauge

1x gauge holder (you choosing but I choose the univerisal piller gauge holder)

Vac. T

and another Vac hose.

First disconnect the hose from the turbo to the wastegate, keeping the hose from the turbo on. This is where the hose should be located.


Install the hose onto one end of the vac t then install the extra vac hose back to where this hose was originally at and onto the vac t as well. This should leave you with a opening for the vac t and that opening is the boost vac hose. End product should look like this

from Where that hose end install the Vac. T. Connect the extra vac hose to and the boost gauge vac hose onto the vac. t. like this.



Now rewire the hose to your boost gauge and install it, then your done to go test it.

NOTE
make sure the hose are very tight cause if you are boosting high it will blow the vac hose off. Vac T area should be super tight.
This is also just for the boost gauge not the light, for that you got to install it anywhere you want. I am planning to install it into my fog lights and will cover that on another DIY. I hope this help. If I did anything wrong feel free to correct me. The way I wire the boost vac hose was thru the door into the fender for testing purpose, I would recomend you to go thru where your wiring is. That way you do not have to drill a hole. Keep in mind do not let the vac hose be pinch otherwise you will get a faulty reading.

 

My last photo should be where I said end product should look like this. I was trying to fix it but this message thing keep on messing up.

 

Well is cheap and it can be pick up at your local autozone. If you have time and money I would rec. on a fancyer boost gauge. otherwise this work way better then our stock and it was simple to install.
