Boost Gauge Install


Recommended Posts

see this is the deal, i pulled out the instrument cluster and the tube came with it, and i dont know what it connected to. its a rubber tube about a foot long says Volvo on it. connects to the instrumnt clusters stock boost guage but the other end goes some where that i can only dream of finding :) thats what im attempting to do is hook it back up, and dont know where it goes. nothing dangles nothing is loose and all vaccume lines are already connected ...

This is a mess. Based on the picture you have run it off one. But if you pulled the cluster and the rubber line came out, you need to find the stock hard line and connect it back up. Other wise your hard work will be rewarded with a vacuum leak.

im curious as to how a new boost gauge will compare to the somewhat inaccurate factory one - if you still plan on runnin both , after the install be sure to add a post as to how the two readings compare , i imagine the new one will read boost faster

they both read fairly well, the reason i decided to run a boost gauge is cause in near future i plan to run more then 7 psi but like close to 13-14 and id like to know where im at numbers wise without cutting off the fuel. and i figured now is as good of time as any since my interior is all apart. (mostly)

all done! thanks for the help fellas, much appreciated. it all would not have been so hard if the car as not been tampered with before. and yes, i have both gauges working right now and both show same thing. pretty accurate with no loss off pressure.

again thanks Guys for the quick responses. one of the reasons i love being here.
