you dont have to drill a hole there is a allen key nut right behind the fuel lines i believe, you just unscrew then you screw the boost line into with the supplied with your gauges

What kind of boost number are you getting?

oil slick · 02-10-2007, 02:22 AM

Paccool,
Max is 18lbs. I did not notice at what rpm, but I will check as I just installed a tiny tach. Also installed a mech. oil preshure gauge, Hot idle 35psi / cruise 55psi. Also am installing a EGT pyro, installed it post turbo, moving it to pre turbo.

18psi sounds about right for a stock engine, maybe a little above.
