Ummmm.... ok, issue.

Just went out to look at the truck, and where you are showing me, I have NO line there.

Its closed off, there's a nipple, if you will, there, and I thought it was just unhooked, or something, so I took a 1/8 drill bit, and kinda poked it in there, by hand, and it's sealed off...

umhmmm............. help?

 

Does the nipple remove? If so, remove it and run a vacuum line into it.

 

no... Idk what to do now...

...could I take the intake and throttle body off... and SOMEHOW drill the hole out??? it's like, solid there...

Any tips if I do this? I don't want any plastic in the motor...

 

Frenchy, PM me with your contact information. I will help you over the phone. I have a small amount of experience with a "boosted" application.

 

lol, Donkey, I think you have more than a "little" amount of experience haha... your TSi is a monster.

 

Frenchy, I monitor directly at the manifold because I'm forced induction. You can plug almost into any vacuum line to monitor the pressure.

 

I'm gonna take the intake and throttle body off, and the little fitting that your vacuum line slips over, has about an inch that a 1/8" drill bit can go into, and then from there, I can just drill out the rest...

that way I can run a direct line to the gauge.

 

Thats cool Frenchy. I know monitoring vacuum/boost off that spot on the manifold has been accurate. They match the dyno graphs 100%.

 

Lol, good.

When you showed me that line I was like, well that's simple enough, then I went out and looked, and went into instant panic mode.

I had no idea wtf to do.

 

If you go with boost, it only gets worse. All the fabrication and relocation that goes with it is crazy.
