rodrigo Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I have installed a boost gauge in my previous car...an 850 LPT.Now I have an XC and want to move the pillar trim/gauge over, but now I have an ETM, with noe vaccuum tree. The diagrams on the Bay 13 write up refers to cars with a cable operated TB, but what do you tap into with an ETM???TIAPS: sorry if its a repost, but the search funtion come up wih GTG's and all sorts of other stuff when I put in 'Boost gauge install" "bost gauge" etc. :monkey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHEIII874T5M Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 t the vacuum line coming off the intake manifold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigo Posted November 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I noticed three...1. one going towards the block kind of right in the middle in the manifold2. one coming off the drivers side of the manifold end with a 45' tee going off it3. one right beneath the previous that comes from the inside of the curl the manifold creates, and going to a tee.any particular one of these?these are all a fat diameter compared to the thin diameter of the gauge's vaccuum tubing...do i need a step down tee?is there such a thing?TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digital_dreamer Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 ? I donÕt know where all those hoses go, but if they are coming off of the intake manifold, then it doesnÕt matter which one, right? They are all connected and will represent the vacuum/boost pressure of the intake.Regards,MAJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poi Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 ya... ti doesnt matter what you t it into. the pressure in the manifodl is the pressure in the lines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigo Posted November 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 OK, so then I tap into any hose...I can do that.The last question is as follows: All the hoses coming off the manifold are a larger diameter than the little vaccuum hose going to the gauge. Since I have to tee off one of the larger vaccuum hoses, I would need a step down tee...is such a thing available, and where?you guys have any numbers on the sizes of those hoses I can use when I go to buy them?

However I will look where mine is coming from and take a picture of it for you. I have the ETM too, so I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
