Re: quick question about boost guage connect

As pointed out technically it is not a boost gauge but indicator. More like a gimmick. It does not give you an accurate representation of boost numerically, especially when running mods like an undersized SC pulley.

What else could that be? hmm
Check to see what it is connected to. Maybe the prior owner added them. Also, if not used make sure they are capped off. Really doesn't matter because you can add another tee connector for the aftermarket boost gauge. The tee allows you to tap in to the main vacuum line with a one way output to the gauge. You are not limited to how many you install. The important part is the MAP vacuum line must be used for any aftermarket vacuum operated boost gauge.
