are you talking about a vacuum/boost guage or strickly a vacuum guage?

At any rate try finding a boots bolt and use that no drilling required.

genos garage has them as well as some others.

strickly a vacuum line on the air filter sytem (somewhere)... guess you would just "drill" for the boost bolt placement...

depends where you want to mount it on the intake plenum before the turbo? the boost bolt is designed to replace and intake manifold bolt and allow a boost reading....why do you want a vacuum gauge

thanks... that is what I thought on the boost bolt... as for why do I want a vacuum line... basically for the H### of it... at some point I am to change to a donaldon dry air intake systemmm and saw they had a intake vacuum line gauge that looked pretty cool.. plus I may have a extra hole for a gauge to mount...

before the turbo... for the air filter system..

I wanted to replace the "filter minder" with a dash mounted vacuum gauge so I could monitor the condition of the air filter. Problem is, I can't find a gauge sensitive enough.
