guys i have posted this pic and put arrows to the location,all i need to know if this is the place to run the line for a mechanical speco boost gauge?

ive put the pic up as when i have asked before without a pic the only answer i got was that the guy used a t-piece on his which pretty much didn't help me at all as i needed to know where to run it from.

please let me know.

I have been told a number of times ... (and I have done it this way and I also have a speco mechanical boost guage) to t-piece it off the hose that connects at the front of the stock bov...

  • 3 weeks later...

sorry for bringing up an old topic but rather do this than make a new one,i decided to use the hose that goes to the stock bov as its best to fit the t-piece but i have another problem.

with the speco mech 2" boost gauge are they meant to come with 2 compression sleeves?cause mine only has one and also when i use the only compression sleeve and one of the compression nuts and do it up tight onto the boost gauge the white pressure hose can be pulled out very easily is this normal?

there should of been a round brass ring that only just slips over the white hose this ring needs to be tight when slipped on to help with the crimping when nut is tightened. mine had the right size ring for the white hose that came with it.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
