DRILLED INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR BOOST GUAGE

[amx1397]

Some of you had ask, where to plug into the manifold for the best boost guage, here is where i drilled into my intake manifold , tapped and have no oil going to my gauge, as most of you know i don;t know how to post pic so go to www.ptcw.truckmoxie.com/amx1397/

that is what i was planning to do aswell actually. I'm also going to use that for my boost controller...verygood response[8)]

to do this drill about 3/4" deep with a drill set up for the tap size you want either 1/8 or 1/4. with your hole about 3/4" deep take a 1/8" drill and angle it to the inside of the manifold. now drill your small hole for the boost and vaccum to go to, then use a pipe tap and tap the hole for your fitting, done.(this needs to be done off the car and make sure you get the drill fillings out of the intake manifold.

I'm curious - why tap the manifold for a boost guage or MBC? there's a spiderweb of lines to choose from already My MBC and boost guage are currently off the TIP line at TB, but I'm going to eventually move the guage to an exisitng manifold line (it's actually a vac/boost guage anywas )

just my way of doing mime, and while testing, when i used the brake booster line it blew off the line and i had no brakes. when useing the line at the back of the manifold (PVC LINE) the oil got to the gauge. tapping the manifold gave me a better reading of vacuum and boost, compared to the line being shared with something else.

I'm still looking for the MBC, son.[:I][:I]
