    Default Boost Gauge HELP!!!

    Ok, I just bought a boost gauge and im having trouble getting it hooked up to the right vacuum line, I know you are supposed to tee of the FPR vacuum line but that isn't where i personally would want to do it, ive heard that this can sometimes lean your motor out. I DEF don't want that. Can anyone tell me any other place i can tee off of to get a correct boost reading?? Oh yeah and the motor is a sr20det. reps for any help.

    Thanks guys.

    99% of people do it through the FPR... but any vacuum hose on the intake manifold side should work. Never had a SR20 though. Then there's a hole on the firewall near one of the foot pedals where you can get the hose through.

    I think those canister lines have check valves in them to prevent reverse flow. Just tee the FPR and be done y0.
