Ive tried many vaccum lines and i cant seem to find the right one to hook my new boost gauge up. Oh the car is a 2006 WRX. I will pay someone to install it. PM me thanks, Mike
I have mine hooked in one of my hoses from my manifold. You should just hook it up to your bov hose... it'll make everything alot easier.
Yeah just tap into the BOV hose, and then run the vacuum hose through the grommet in your floorboard, which all pre-08 cars should have, up to wherever the gauge is mounted. As far as the tube goes, you can buy all sizes of vacuum tube at home depot. At least that's where mine came from and it works wonders.
i work in snellville and be glad to install it i work 5 mile from 78 and 124 on 78. if you havent got it done yet pm me
Old thread but I need an answer on where to tap for a STRI boost gauge. Hallman boost controller, external wastegate, 50-50 APS BOV. I'm not sure if I can tap on any vacuum line, where the best place to tap in is? Thanks guys!
No, tap into the vacuum line going into the stock FPR for the boost gauge. Are you saying you also have a Hallman, EWG, and APS BOV you need to hook up as well? If you don't know how to hook these up, I strongly suggest paying someone or getting someone to help you do this. Hooking the MBC or EWG wrong can cause some serious damage to your car.
no, everything else is connected, I was wondering if I had to tap in the vacuum line between the BOV and manifold or between MBC and wastegate, sorry for the confusion!
No you just need a tiny vac/boost source. Some people say use the line going to the BOV but Tial and Apexi recommends not doing this since the BOV relys on a strong vac signal to open.
