Hi all:
I got the complete boost pressure guage kit, but no diagram or instructions as to installation. There is an older thread with about 4 posts on the subject, but it does not answer my fundamental question: where do you plumb the "sensor" or whatever it's called. Being somewhat challenged by explanations, and pictures being worth a million words in my book, if any of y'all has a picture to show where to plumb, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks for your understanding, I might need some compassion, too, I guess...

 

Billut,

There is a plug in the area underneath where the intake horn goes into the manifold/head. Take that plug out and replace it the the brass fitting and ferule that came with your gauge. Try doing a search as I believe there were some pics on this subject.

Aloha,
Matt

 

Billut,

I found a pic for you.

Aloha,

man you beat me to it

 

John,

Your's is a better pic.

Aloha,

Man, this site is awesome! There's always someone out there to share their knowledge, and that's invaluable to those - like me - who miss it badly.

Matt and John, thanks so much for the pics and the explanation!

 

Ive got a 24v and I'v ebeen wanting a boost gauge. Is the same plug there on mine? That sure would be sweet if it were.

 

i dont think so, but im not up to snuff on 24v. you could tap your air horn and plumb it in there. you probably should check in the 24v forums, they would have a better answer for you

 

just noticed this, will it work for my boost port?

 

It looks like somebody already installed a gauge there. Where's the line go?

 

in the cab by the fuse block, do you think that location will work on the intake housing

 

Yes, that will be fine.

 

SO all you need is basically a pressure gauge between the turbo and the intake.

 

Kind of interesting they went to all the work of tapping the intake horn when there are two empty plugs in the intake already. Must have been a 24v guy install it.

The 24v does not have an easy to use place in the head. There is a large tapped hole towards the rear by the MAP sensor but IIRC it is a harder to find metric size. Most with the 24v trucks drill and tap the intake horn like in the pic above.

I HAVE MY BOOST GAUGE INSTALLED IN THE AIR HORN GOING INTO THE INTAKE. WORKS GREAT FOR ME.
