installing a boost gauge

[Freebeer187]

I was at pepboys today and I was looking at some boost gauges they had. How difficult is it to install them? I was thinking of just mounting it rather than making/buying a pillar for it.

Is it difficult to run the hoses to the cabin? Thanks!

you can tap the vac line that runs under the pass side dash to the HVAC vent control.....unless you have the automatic climate control, then you need to run into the engine bay

even then there's a pressure valve that keeps ya from seeing boost on that line....on the L67's that line goes to the T behind the TB and ther's never boost present there...

youll have to run it through the dash regardless...either drilling a new hole and putting in a grommet or passing it through an existing firewall passthrough

So I run it through the firewall on the pass. side? Will I have to totally remove the dash to run the vaccum tube the drivers side?
