| Post subject: | Boost Gauge? |
Has anyone purchased a boost gauge, or pyrometer? Is it worth it?? I was looking @ Banks site: http://store.bankspower.com/Categories2.aspx?Category=2627937d-5d1f-4357-ac9f-b891858c2c14 I couldn't find how much pressure our little varible vained turbos could muster? Answers? Comments appreciated. |

I have a Scangauge that reads manifold pressure. Peak readings are around 34-35 PSI but you have to subtract sea level pressure of 14.8 or so. It reads 14.8 with the key on and engine off and I'm at sea level. So, a gauge with a 0-30 PSI range should be good. As to where to hook it up, no clue. There is no easy place to T into. One person posted pictures where he drilled and tapped one of the engine cover stand-off bolts. |

This is what I did. It wasn't my idea though. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=12325&highlight= |

Where did you find the brass fittings and coupler for the plastic tubing? My gauge came with a plastic tee intended for connection into an existing rubber hose. I'm assuming yours has a ferrell connection on the plastic line where it fits into the brass fitting. |

Mine came with it. Most auto parts store should have them and yes it has a ferrell connection. |
