boost gauge installation

[hamer]

i printed the procedure off gnttype but i think its written for an 87 I was just wondering what is diffwerent. I know the Engine is set up way different but the vac/press lines all basically the same?? any little hints/ tricks you guys used on the hotair? or just try to go by the proc. i got? is the MAP sensor located in the same spot? if it is whats the easiest way to get the line? the first step is "locate the metal vac/press hose that goes from th top of the throttle body -->heater rail pass side--> back of manifold--> flexible coupler fairly rigid little plastic tube......" then its tells you the rest of the steps. I dont remember having a metal hose on my TB. But does ours run the same route?

Back of intake manifold

Hey, I have been told, since I will be running alcohol injection soon, that you can tap your boost guage into the front left hand side, or rear, right hand side of the intake manifold. There are two 1/4 inch brass plugs in those spots, and all you need is an adapter for the hose. From there, all you have to do is run it through the firewall and to your guage. I think the best spot is the front plug, due to the fact that the other plug is directly under the exhaust portion of the turbo. Good luck...Anybody else feel free to correct me!
