Yo guys...Im going to install a boost gauge in my car and the thing is I dont konw where to tap it...well, I do but where is the most efficient place for both Vacuum and boost readings? One guy told me the vacuum coming from the booster, other told me from the wastegate actuator and another was telling me the vacuum from the FPR...what do you guys recommend?? As well for the lights...the lighter light? or the headlight actuator ( from behind fuse) wire?

its a Redtop SR btw

FPR - for the boost signal...also...what brand of Gauge are you using...if the gauge comes w/the shitty plastic hard line...i highly recommend you replace it with black rubber vac. hose...just a word of advice.

for the illumination use Red/Blue wire at light switch or back of the dimmer...good luck

+2 for FPR

Hrm, for boost, I just tee'd it off the BOV vacuum line, which comes from one of the top two ports of the throttle body.

yea I just T'd off of the ones about the throttle body also. Very convient and accurate.

FPR will be most accurate.. or from any of the other nipples next to the FPR source will read the same.
