Boost Gauge

RE: Boost Gauge
There's this great new innovation online called "Google" I won't be a complete *** though:
The boost gauge plumbing is installed somewhere between the compressor outlet of the turbo and the intake manifold. A hole is drilled through the firewall and deburred so that the pressure tube can then be routed to the gauge. Several layers of electrical tape or a grommet may be installed to prevent damage to the tube by the firewall. The tube is then routed to the back of the gauge and mounted to the fitting on the gauge. Extreme care should be made in routing and connecting the tube so that no kinks are experienced. The gauge light is then wired into the existing instrument light switch (12VDC) using 18 AWG or larger wire (not supplied with gauge/tubing kit)
That's just a "Universal" guide for installing a boost gauge. I installed gauges in my 2 previous DSMs, I've yet to install one on my S70, that'll be remedied shortly.

RE: Boost Gauge
there is usually conduit installed under the dash up in the driverside kick panel. It will let out just under the fuse box on the driver side and ill have a rubber cap on it. Just pull it off and fish your hose through. Tap into the line coming off the intake manifold for boost.
