Boost Gauge Install Question....

Ok, so I am all set to install my boost gauge...I open the package and I see there is a plastic "TEE" and some connections that come with the gauge...

I am thinking this is good, and I don't have to drill and tap the intake, but there are no instructions with the thing!!!

Anyone know how to hook this guy up???? Thanks

I believe the only way to hookup a boost line on a Cummins is to either drill and tap the intake manifold or get a boost bolt from either Geno's Garage or Piers Diesel Research. The boost bolt replaces one of the intake manifold bolts and has a barbed fitting to plug the line into.

My kit came with a type fitting where you remove intake blot and screw one provided in no tapping. or I believe Tee is placed on waste gate line for boost.

Make sure you clamp both ends of the rubber tube! It will blow off if you don't.
