Intake Manifolds and boost bolts

[hotram03]

Where do you get a boost bolt, I was reading that it is more accurate than mounting your boost gauge to the back of the air intake itself? is this true? And does the ATS air intakes really work for the amount of money they cost? That and their exhaust manifold, are the only upgrades I never done but are considering them?

I bought mine at Piers among other items and find their service excellent.

You will find the boost bolt about 1/2 way down on the above link.



Based on what I have read its possible you may read a lower pressure if you mount on the intake "if" you have an aftermarket one with the bulge, seems the bulge creates a pressure drop but then that pressure recovers in the intake as it passes the more narrow inlet.



If you do buy the ATS intake be sure it is their "brand new" design for 3rd gens only because the 2nd gen is a poor fit. BTDT.
