any chance you have pics of that part of your engine? I looked up the vaccum tips and really couldnt find it.

 

No sorry I don't have any pictures of it really. I could take some tomorrow, but not today. I am leaving for work here in 5 minutes. I will be back on late later tonight though to answer any questions you have posted. So keep posting questions in here and I will answer them and or try to to answer them for you the best I can.

P.S.: Interested in the spoiler lip?

 

if you pointed out which part that is I might, lol, sorry basically my knowledge of cars is like, well none(except for what I ahve learned form talking to you and looking at pictures and stuff.) You say spoiler lip, well I know what the spoiler is, but whats the lip for? Also thansk a ton for not flaming me and answering all of my questions! I know it prolly gets boring for you after awhile. On a minor note, I am a visual learner, so like even if I know what part your talking about, I need somthing to look at, which is why i ask for pics all the time.

 

Various q's:
I was figuring I wold pick up some of these, good idea? Since I dont have a soldering gun.
The vacuum tips that guy was talking about was the rubber ends that connect teh vac line to w/e, but since I dont know the size of the vac lins I cant really get the tips for it.
Tmrw, if ya have time are you able to get pictures of teh follwing:
The T connection
Where the wires get into the engine
and any place they sliced for teh power and grounding(if ya can find them)

Would be much appreciated

 

-Yeah those splices are great to have. You can find then at your local Wal-Mart. In packs of like 10 or 20.

- I still don't know what he means by vaccum tips though. I would have to see a picture.

- I can show you my "T" connection, but since your a 1998 the "T" connection will just be in a different place.

- I can try to get pictures of where they worked all the wires to in the engine bay. I wont be able to show you where they spliced, because I would have to rip everything apart and that isn't something I want to do.

As far as the lip goes, if you check out my FOR SALE section thread you will see what it looks like.

 

Pic I edited, I think thats what he is talking about.
Also about those splicers, can you really get them at walmart?

 

Should only need one or two of those for the boost gauge.

 

What I dont get is I thought the pvc hose supplied with the boost gauge was supposed to slide onto the spurs?

 

Spurs?

 

maybe not the right word, but like the t connection or on the sensor:

 

Looks like the Plastic hose goes in there but a Vaccum tip goes over the end and the Plastic hose goes through that and it will be tight.

 

ah ic, wonder if the same thing could be accomplished using zip ties.

 

Do it right or not at all.

 

yeah true true, just need to find a place that sells those. Prolly should be to hard. Also thanks but no thanks on the spoiler lip, have the full spoiler on the back already.

 

No problem. I thought might have the spoiler already.

Try finding the parts online.

 

I did find them online, only prolbem was thats it wasnt for my model, which made me wonder if they would work or not. had it for tthe t5 and 850, ect.

Give me a few minutes, for some reason its not under my bookmarks

 

well great, cant find that now

 

I was wondering if I should order one of these aswell, and use it instead of teh t fitting. Same as the t fitting and can hold and withstand 150 psi. Wouldnt need the vac line tips, I dont think.
