I got a 40 dollar Autometer gauge from autozone and I installed it today. After so research about how to hook it up, I decided to make a hole in the air horn and put it in there. Well I didnt have the right tap so I drilled a hol and starting to tap and hole but the hole was too small so I got the best fitting size adapter it came with and some teflon tape are screwed in there slowing with some force. I'll work for now and heres a pic of it.

awsome man. great job. i got a boost gauge. now i just need to buy a turbo truck to monitor

 

some kid at Autozone when I bought it said I could hook it up off any vacuum line cause thats what he did on his RX-7 and I was thinking the diesel isnt like that.

 

lol u dont have vaccum line on a turbo diesel

 

So what kinda boost are you seeing?

Watch that you don't kink that hose. You may want to wrap it in some split loom.

 

Taking off fast it hits 15 and stays there untill I get in 3rd, (its Auto BTW) and like crusing bout 80 with some throttle still there, it sits at 18, thats the max

 

WOW that's really good !!

Are you running an chip or something?

 

The truck is stock as far as I know, All I've done to it is straight pipe and custom air intake. It won't go past 95 mph cause of the boost limiter I think but some guy thought I had it chipped cause it starts up real quick

 

nice install thats decent psi as well

 

get passed 17-18 psi, im gonna kink my wastegate hose i think
