Just wondering if anyone has a good write-up on installing a boost gauge on a intercooled pickup. I am aware of the small manifold pipe plug below the intake elbow. I guess I want to see what fittings and tubing works between the manifold and the gauge. Any pics would be great too.......

My boost gauge fitting, ridiculously easy to install!
I got my gauge(ISSPRO) from DieselManor and it came with more than enough fittings to make it fit.

Cool! Thanks for the reply. I'd like to know the size of the fittings and air line so I can pick them up locally.

Here's the list of stuff that came with the gauge.

From Diesel Manor's site...

We have put together this tubing kit for those who desire a better quality kit for their boost gauges. The tubing in these kits are much more flexible, resilient, longer, and have a higher PSI rating than what is found in many gauge manufacturer's tubing kits. This hose is SAE J844 Air Brake hose manufactured by Parker. The length of this kit is perfect for overhead windshield mounts.

Kit includes:

*

14 feet of black nylon air brake hose, 1/8"OD rated 150PSI.
*

1/8" compression tube to 1/8"NPT female straight fitting. - (Did not need this one)
*

1/8" compression tube to 1/8"NPT male straight fitting.
*

1/4" male to 1/8" female NPT adapter.
