Boost Gauge Help
Just got my VDO turbo boost gauge and have everything ready to go . . . only one problem not sure where to conect the vacume hose. I'm new to RX7's and am not sure where is the best place to hook the hose into. I was looking at the hose that goes into the boost pressure sensor behind the air intake, is this a good place or is there a better more accurate one? Any help on installing a boost gauge appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan 87 TII

i think the sensor line goes for like 2 feet or so and then has a white factory "T" in it...this splits and goes to the BOV and something else i think. from what i was told you splice into the boost sensor line before it gets to this factory T...

I conected mine to the spare outlet 3" back from the boost sencer take off at the top of the lower inlet (it has a black blanking plug over it) you have to look carefully as its under the BAC valve.
I like to fit things as neatly as possable.

Just T it into the BOV line thats the easiest way to explain it there are many other ways but for all practical purposes just use the line between the wastegate and the BOV.

My bad the wategate line goes from the gate directly to the turbo on these cars doesn't it Well anyway the BOV line or even the wastegate line would be perfect for t-ing into.
