Yo bro,

Got some problem here.My friend have a boost gauge running off the inlet manifold vacume pipe (on the engine side of the throttle body not the blower side), the same pipe plugs into my blowoff valve to open and close the valve. Does this sound correct to you?The pointer doesn't seem to move.Need your advise! :lol:

Yo bro,

Also , can the oil temp work from the same sender as oil press.Just wondering!
Thanks :lol:

which engine for reading boost? the intake manifold should have 2 nipples.. one connected to the BOV (do not connect your boost reading on this line). Connect the 't' fitting on the other nipple.. that way u should get the correct boost reading..

nope.. the senders are different.. one is pressure one is temp... cannot use 1 sender for both readings... however.. the place to fit in the senders for temp and pressure can be shared in the same NPT fitting. Hope that helps.. :)

for me the usage of vacuum meter is to judge my stepping of gas pedal.... when cruising normally the vacuum will shows 15... then when accelerate it will become less depends how deep you step ur gas pedal....
and it looks cool also lah... of coz.... :P
