boost gauge and oil pressure gauge
hey guys, I was wondering if anybody has links to a page or can tell me where to splice in the vaccum line for the boost gauge (I hooked it up, and it says i am only running 4 pounds of boost?...just wanna make sure that the gauge is hooked up right (it still pulls hard so it has to be i spliced into the wrong hose))
also I was wondering where to tap in the line for the oil pressure gauge. any help would be awesome, thanks guys! (1993 R1)

Re: boost gauge and oil pressure gauge
for an FD, you can T it off any line on the upper intake manifold. You should be getting 10-8-10 boost.

Re: boost gauge and oil pressure gauge
oil pressure gauge line is at the middle of the left side rear iron, right next to the tranny on FCs and FBs.

Re: boost gauge and oil pressure gauge
ok, i found instructions on installing the boost gauge, and it tells me to use the unused hole that is capped off. Would this make any diff.? I have the "T" on the only other line on the upper intake manifold. (next to the capped hole)...Y DO I ONLY HAVE 4 POUND OF BOOST lol this sux! what else could it be other than the gauge hooked up wrong? one of the turbos? Please help

Well my boost gauge says im boosting at 5 most the time when stock boost on my fc is supposted to be 8. Im about to do a FMIC so if i have a boost leak that will fix it and also ill redo my boost gauge hookup... elimintating both of those will leave only one or two more ways it wouldnt be boosting... wastegate problems or turbo problems. Start with the easiest problems then work your way up. just redo the boost gague then look for boost leaks then try and borrow a buddies boost gauge to double check yours then go from there. damn i hate low boost
