Boost gauge where to hook up reference line

[Barracuda340]

Hi everybody,

I was wondering where to hook up the boost gage reference line tee to run to the gage. I'm pretty old skool. 1980s turbo dodges old skool to be exact, but know to hook it up to the intake manifold downstream of the compressor so it references the manifold pressure. Anybody have any pix of where they tied theirs in, and maybe how they adapted the lines. I like to look at a lot of different ideas before I choose one that suits my liking.

Thanks in advance
Matt

I plugged mine into the OBDII port. Took 30 seconds.

But you’ll have to “settle” for digital to 0.1 precision. No analog.

That sounds great however I have an autometer Z series that is mechanical. It uses a tube connection to the intake manifold. I should have been more specific.

That last line in your original post sounds like a dangerous hobby ! I have nothing to help you, just found it humorous.

A lot of times I have to read things 3 or 4 times before I understand them. Just found the typo funny is all.
