Boost Gauge Install

[Rob_C110GTR]

Hi

I've been searching it the R32 GTSTs are different from the GTS-4 as the GTS-4 did not come with stock boost gauge instead its a torque gauge.

Where is the easiest way I can tap my boost gauge?

Thanks

I think a VAC line closest to the throttle body, on the intake pipe, is the best place to get boost readings from? Not 100%, some tech head will correct me if I'm mistaken hehe

But here is how you would connect it..

Get a T-piece, cut the VAC line, put the T -Piece in-between the line you just cut, and run a VAC line from the 3rd connection to your boost gauge.

Easy done! Good luck.

Thanks,

Abu

anyones got a diagram or better a pic where I should cut or join the line for the boost gauge ?

PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE?

just grab a vacumm line from your intake plenum

put up a pic of your engine bay (plenum side) and we'll pick a spot for you

That's how it's done in my car and it works fine.

This is where the stock boost gauge is plumbed in.

If you don't have a nipple there already unscrew the metal bung and replace it with an appropriate nipple,

you might be able to get one from the for sale section or a wrecker.

quick q with that solinoid can it run without 1?

The nipple is next to the idle control, car would have trouble with cold starts i'd imagine, not sure though.

here's some dodgy pics of the inlet manifold area, where should I install it?

whats the part name or anyone got a pic?

there must be somewhere else that I can just connect a T piece connector

[Rob_C110GTR]

I can also connect it using a T connector on the hose coming from the fuel pressure regulator right

i would take the bolt out and take it to someone like conventry and ask for a nipple to replace it, you should be able to get away with something that has a tappered threat and get some thread lock and your done peice of cake, but where that bolt is, is where the gtst get there boost reading from.
