Boost Gauge Install

**carolinarednek** · 07-07-2007, 07:53 PM

I know this may seem simple to some, but I am going to install a manual Auto Meter boost gauge on my bad boy!!

I am curious where I need to put the sender. Do I drill an tap the intake? Do I put in on the output on the turbo? A little help would be appreciated!!!

There is a bolt on the intake under the intake horn. it's a 10mm. Remove the bolt and install your boost gauge.

Thats the easiest way to do it. Some people drill and tap the air horn though... I like the bolt method better though!!!
