boost gauge installation?

if i was to install a boost gauge on a 3800 S1 S/C in a PA where was i to do that?
on the intake somewhere?

any ideas?

On the intake below the blower.

err i don't see myself getting a drill and making a hole there, and leaving the crap in the intake...
soooooooo does this means i have to remove the intake and the blower to do this?

im looking forward in putting on a smaller pulley on the blower, just to add a pound or two. we have bad rice around here and whipping there arse with a 4000 lbs car would be a delicacy. :)

You’re absolutely right, you need to pull the intake to drill & tap the hole! Clean all the debris out, then install a hose fitting that matches your gauge.

omg.....thats like...too much...

i heard on a grand prix forum that i might have vacuum hoses on the lower part of the intake, like underneath the blower and plug the hose there.


im gonna have to check that tomorrow night.

If you have a vacuum line that is also on the boost side of the SC you can use that to messure vacuum & boost. The stock guages I have seen go from -10 in vacuum to +10 boost.

err stock gauges on what? does some PA's come with a boost gauge standard? i know that 97-04 grand prix and some bonneville DO have one.. but it's crappy...

Your right, the factory gauages are not the way to go. I don't know of a PA from the factory with the boost-vac gauage. You might want to consider this one.

thats a nice gauge :)

i'll consider this... but i thought of soemthing, i might do it later on since the gas prices are kinda high, i dont think adding 2 pounds of boost will help MPG LOL
