Быстров Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 so im installing my new boost gauge and decided to splice in to the stock line, when i took out the instrument cluster the line stayed on the cluster and disconnected on the other end. where do i hook it back up ? i took off the bottom steering wheel panel with all the wires exposed, now what? what do i look for ?

7 VII 7 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 The stock boost line should go from the cluster DIRECTLY to the vacuum tree now if there are joints in-between there I am not sure... but running a line directly to the Vacuum tree is the best option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Быстров Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 is the vacuum tree on top or on bottom of the steering column ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRACStar Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Look behind that lower panel on drivers side for a white plastic line. That's the feed into the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line should be a hard black (or white, cant remember) plastic line, which goes through the firewall and into the engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where i spiced mine into, it is a hard line and it will give you the same reading as the vac tree, save yourself the time and headache of running it through the firewall, unless you have a s70 than you have no choice but to goto the vac tree.

Yup just put T fitting inline and your good, and yes they will both read at the same time, just the stock one is not that accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would pick 1 No they will both respond the same as before, unless you kink your line or switch to rubber vac line the whole way. Both are running fine in mine, pressure is right on.

It connects to the back of the stock boost gauge.If your going to bypass the stock one just use that line that is hanging and dangling. If you want to connect to the tree, just remove one of the plugs on the tree and attach there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
