Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Boost gauge...HELP!!!

[jzenk]

Time to install the boost gauge on my '01. What happened to the predrilled/tapped hole on the manifold to screw the fitting into? Am I missing it or was it deleted? Thanx!

For the turbo boost gauage there is a 3/4 inch plug on the drivers side of the engine just to the front of the MAP sensor. Its btw the MAP and the fuel filter housing. It has a recesses square drive head. That is where I picked my readings up from. U have to make a fitting from pipe bushings for the boost sensor to fit. I went with a 3/4"male to 1/2"female. Then a 1/2"male to a 1/8"female for my fitting. Hope this helps. BTW dont use the one between the MAP and the IAT, I think that one has coolant behind it.
