Piers Boost Fitting



here's the link to piers famous boost bolt. It replaces one of the intake rail's manifold bolts with this fitting that is tapped on top for simple placement of your 1/8" boost tube fitting. This way you don't drill and tap into anything.



See my Gallery for more pics of the fitting on my truck.

There is about a one inch plug on the rear driverside of the cylinder hear about under the Map sensor but under the intake plenum, you can take it out and put in a couple bushing to reduce it down to get boost pressure, its pretty easy to find and that way you can just go to a hardware store real quick and get the stuff to do it don't have to wait ordering anything. I have used the boost bolts before they work really good but I'm asuming you probably can' get one today. If yer interested I'll try to give you a better expination of hw to find this plug to remove.

Yep, that's where I hooked mine up, right next to the Map sensor with a few reducers, works like a champ!! Just don't take out the rearward-most plug, it's for the cooling system
