Default boost / vacuum line

Those with boost gauges, which vacuum line are you tied into ?

I went off this hose in the back, and used this for the pressure sensor for the e-01 (which says should be tied into the line with the fue pressure regulator)

I am not getting an accurate boost reading, and not sure if it is the hose, or because I tapped into the line with one fitting w/ 2 taps

where was yours tapped in ?
Picture would be great

you should be able to use that one. that is the manifold side of the evap purge selenoid. it should read vacuum and positive manifold pressure.

what is happening? is it only showing you positive values in the profec? is it showing only positive values and they are excessively high?

reason i ask, i know someone who had the latter....

m

ps. i think either my profec unit, or my stepping motor is using that line.

so it maxes out at 0PSI? weird..

you could always use the nipple on the upper manifold collector., that is capped from the factory...
Its on the passenger side but covered by the engine cover. i think i am using that one also.

btw, there is no vacuum line for a fuel pressure regulator, as ours is in the gas tank.

i will get back with you in about an hour... (with pics)

I am a dumb ***
It was in my settings. Had it on kPa
On psi now, and just took her for a spin
@ a wopping 5-6 pounds

Can't wait to turn up the boost
Next test ride us two will do together, will me in my z.


Add the e-01 installed for a couple weeks now, and haven't had time to play with it
It is pretty cool, it has a graph that records your run.

thanks Michael for your time
