gauge install question

Alaska_Bound · #1 (**permalink**) 05-06-2009, 10:05 PM

For those who've installed boost gauges....which is the best method, putting a "T" fitting in the MAF line, or drill and tap? "T" looks easier, but not sure of the efficiency.

thanks

I just did the T fitting. It seems close enough for me. I figured it wasnt as important as the pyro or tranny gauge so I just got it done. Ill probably tap it once I fix all the problems I have and get bored one day..

i have mine installed into my boost fooler, which obviously is t'd into the MAP sensor line. it seems to be pretty acurate

The Map line works good. I have done several trucks this way and have never had a issue.

mine is in "t"d in the map line but the needle shakes real bad. im going to tap the intake elbow and see if that fixes it.

Is that just at idle or all the time?

6.0's are notorious for that, when ever I install in a 6.0 I drill and tap the intake horn, but 7.3's are fine to use the Map line.

Cool, thanks.
