boost gauge connection?

[TURBOPOWERED68]

I made the connection for the boost gauge at the MAP sensor.
Is this a good place to make the boost gauge connection?

looks good to me. you might need to invest in some new plug wires and take care of the vaccum line that has a bolt in it.

That’s the PCV valve line
I ordered an AC-Delco PCV valve from Advance I will get it tomorrow but I am not shore if I will use it because I am getting 20 LBS of vac.
And with the PCV valve I am shore that I will not get that much Vac.
Instead I put the OE valve cover to turbo inlet pipe back on.
Tell me what you think.

The wires are Accel I think 8MM or bigger don't know but they work perfect
After a good cleaning they will look new.
Thanks

Your boost setup should work as you needed to just Tee into line. Just make sure your connections are tight and secure away from headers or DP so they don't get burnt. Just ziptie them together then route them out of harms way. Is that a seperate oil filter inline for the turbo? The PVC shouldn't bother your vacuum numbers. There was a long long thread about to use or not to use a PVC valve. The consensus was to use it. Some choose not to. The problem is oil vapor gets sucked up into TB on some cars more then others some folks have no oil in intake, some decided to put an inline air/oil seperator between PVC and TB. to minimize contamination of intake. Most remove that connection between turbo and valve cover and others had expermented with teeing PVC valve into that hose keeping what oil mist that gets sucked in to just go back to engine rather then to TB that way the aircharge isn't contaminated with oil. If I had the old setup I'd probably give it a try for now I just empty the catch can.

Everything is getting zip tied I just have a bad habit of pre-fitting every thing first then making final adjustments.

Good points on the PCV valve stuff.
I am also going to re check my old threads for PCV Info.
I know what you mean about oil in the intake my old turbo leaked oil like crazy; I was going to put a drain plug in the IC. :biggrin:

Lose the tube that goes from the valve cover to the turbo.
