What are you Teeing off of for your gauge pressure source?

I tapped the front of the intake manifold and have a line running to the BOV. I was thinking of t-ing into that.
I bought a 1/4 x 1/4 x 3/16 T fitting.

That should work. I just wouldn’t recommend teeing off the line that runs to the waste gates if you are running an EBC teed off that line too. I tapped the manifold and ran a dedicated line to the boost gauge.

I thought about doing that but didnt want to pull the manifold off, again. :icon17:

Don’t think that will work with the Tee he bought. I think that hose is 3/8 or 1/2”.

A lot of people put a manifold in right there for all their needs. Like this:

That was just a quick search for vacuum blocks. They make better ones so don’t necessarily buy that one. It’s probably a waste now that you’ve tapped for the BOV. Would of been a good solution at the beginning. Unless you have future needs for pressure source, I wouldn’t bother.

The company Sasha gets the FMICs from has a pretty good one. Just can’t think of the company name at the moment.

Decided to get off my fat *** and get the bumper fitted around the intercooler and FI tow bar. Yep, same bumper from waaaaaaaay back in this thread resurfaces. I had stashed it away when I thought I was going to get rid of the Z.
Had to trim a most of the middle piece away which was made easy with an air powered cutoff wheel. Be sure to wear a good mask and eye protection when cutting!

I started taping the hood for the tracspec vent install. Its about 6* right now and I cant clean the hood off to lay the rest of tape because everything freezes instantly when sprayed on the hood :icon17:

madwi 01-25-2019 08:44 PM

Thinking of using black mesh as that would blend in well.
