While it's aimed primarily at automotive 'newbies', the more experienced tweakers might learn a thing or two as well. In this story we'll give you a step-by-step tour of how to properly install a boost gauge. All too often, though, we see boost gauges hastily fitted poor gauge mounting, inappropriate pressure pick-up locations, or nasty wiring and plumbing. It doesn't matter if you drive a Pulsar ET or a Jaguar XJ-R, a boost gauge is essential for observing peak boost levels, tuning and general faultfinding.
The humble boost gauge has become a must-have accessory for turbocharged and supercharged cars. Product Description: Fits BA/BF Ford XR6 Turbo. Turbosmart recommends that a boost gauge be permanently fitted to the vehicle. Connecting a boost gauge anywhere between the turbo compressor and throttle will give a too-high boost.

Too lean and will fry your valves with no place to pull over and park. Practically standard in aircraft, helps you trim your prop at altitude, but the real gauge you really had to watch was exhaust manifold temperature since you have complete control on mixture. Use to sell the vacuum gauges only, if not showing above 15"/Hg, you are getting poor fuel economy, but you also learn that at the gas station. It reads from -4 to +18 psi, but at -4 is where you get the best fuel economy. Supra came with a boost gauge, rarely look at it, too busy watching where I am going and looking out for cops, LOL.
I assume those wires are just for the light bulb, only needed when its dark. Intake manifold vacuum/pressure gauge, why not use a neoprene vacuum line instead of that piece of plastic? Have several of those gauge laying around, ha, can just route the line between the hood and firewall to check my boost pressure.
