Just wondering what kind of boost guage I should get, where I should put it and what I should mount it with. If you guys could help me out it would be a big help.

 

I guess I will be the first to say search
Stewart warner is my choice but if you have $200+ to spend on a single gauge then get defi. Mount it where you like it best. steering wheel, a-piller, lower dash pod, relocation kit for radio, glove box, etc...

 

+1 for stewart warner. mount it on the steering wheel

 

+2

 

sorry to hijack, but my stewart warner gauge came in the mail today, it didnt come w/a T fitting which is one thing.. but, and pardon for the newb question.. what is the white hose used for? its REALLY small in diameter, i cant see this hose supposed to be used for boost? do i just go to an auto parts store and pick up a hose.

heres some pix

 

I like the Defi d spec mounted on the left pillar ...easy to read and it looks great.

 

You needed to order the tubing kit from 42 draft its like $12
http://www.42draftdesigns.com/product/42150851.htm The vacum line goes though the white plastic peice

 

so the white tube goes through the other black tube...

do they sell vac tubing at an autoparts store.. i'd rather not order online and have to wait to be shipped

 

post a pic of the white tube. I mean the white plastic peice in the picture from the link.

 

should be up

 

I pm ed you

Thats really weird that they sent you that. That is the vacum line for the gauge. It is kind of hard right. its not rubber but kind of a rubber, plastic line right? When I got my SW gauge I ordered the tubing kit and it looks like your line and the line from the tubing kit are the same just the color. I would use that but if its not long enough to reach order the tubing kit from 42 its $12.

 

yes its hard, not stretchy or anything... the diameter of the tube is really small, i cant imagine tryin to T that

 

Can't you just go to autozone or whatever auto parts store is in your area and buy some generic vacuum line for like $.25 per foot? That is the way I have always done it. Oh, and they also sell the little white tees to tap into the line in the engine bay. I don't see the point in spending $12 on something that costs like $4 at any store.

I have also used that hard white plastic on another car. It can be done but you have to find the right fitting, which can also be purchased at autozone. The soft line is the easier way to go. Threading that hard white line is a pain in the ***.
