Help installing boost Gauge

[KX2000GTP]

I purchased an Autometer Z series boost Gauge and I am having a problem installing it. I can't find the boost line to tie the gauge into. 2000 GTP 88K. Can anybody help me out??

For proper SC boost indication you'll need to tee into the MAP sensor vacuum line. See link below:

Good luck!

Thanks for the input Bnaylor. I actually found that site about 10 minutes after posting the question. But Thank You for the response.

I have another question now. The boost gauge is installed and functioning well, however, I have two more gauges to go, Tranny Temp and Air/Fuel. The tranny temp seems pretty easy, I installed the sender unit and now just need to run the wire, but teh A/F is confusing me. Do I want to tie in to the O2 sensor on the engine for the signal? (I know there is second O2 at the U-Bend but that won't be the one I use) Is there somewhere inside the Driver compartment that I can tie into or do I need to run the line to the sensor through the firewall?

Thanks in Advance

Thats good news on the boost gauge. On the A/F gauge, that has to tie into the 02 sensor before the CAT convertor located at the exhaust headers. All wires and hookup will be external within the engine compartment and you'll have to run the wires through the firewall and then to the gauge.

The instructions should tell you which wires to tap into. There should be a total of 4 color coded wires as inputs and outputs because it is a heated 02 sensor. Let me know if you have any problems on the wiring and I can send you the pinout from a GP wiring diagram. The connection points should be 02 sensor low and 02 sensor high which feed directly to the PCM module. Good luck!
