Vac/Boost T-in Location

The VP and FASS are finaly here and are half installed with only minor 'events"

I cannot figure where to 'T' in the Vac/Boost gauge?
it came with 6' of 1/8 clear tubing, a barbed 1/8x1/8x1/4 Tee, and a little rubber adapter for tubing to Tee connection.

Can this gauge be taped into the Intake Horn? My guess is no


this is the gauge

Thanks for everyones help. I can finally see a light at the end of this month long tunnel. I must have set a time record on this one.

Could I do this? Or do I lose the Vac. by not using a T fitting?

Just follow the directions in the link you provided. Loose the T-fitting and plumb the line from the gauge straight into the adapter fitting. The gauge can also be tapped into the intake horn.

You should see little-if any-vacuum readings on your gauge with a diesel engine.

if you have a meltdown vacuum will be the least of your worries! intake air has no restrictions in a diesel, so there will be negligible vacuum.
