Getting ready to put on the WH1C or HX35. Where do you get Boost from and what will I need to do this all hose and fittings? Anyone have some pics. I'll continue looking around.

I teed in to the boost gauge port and ran 1/4" hard line under the engine. A 5' preflared brake line from the local auto parts store works well. While you are there pick up a couple feet of 1/4" fuel injection hose and clamps (not regular low pressure fuel hose).

This has been working well for 4 years now.

I actually just got my Stage IV and I got a boost elbow and the tubing to run the boost line to the compressor housing (drilled and tapped). It is nice and clean and there is no boost line that is running on top of the motor.
