ISSPRO EV2 Boost Gauge sending unit

[RBellah]

Well I almost have my gauges done.

I have tried the Boost Bolt in several of the locations noted from most install instructions and it will not work with the size of the EV2 sending unit (big round bottom hits injector nut) or top part hits the valve cover in the inner front mounting hole or and injector line/nut in the others. Looks like I am going to have to remove the intake and drill and tap unless someone has some information I am missing that would allow the EV2 sensor to work with the Boost Bolt. Most pictures available on installs show the EV1 sending unit. The one mostly shown to use second one from the rear inside is where I have the injector nut hitting housing of sender and the top part rubs the wiring plug on valve cover. Anybody?

There is a pipe plug under the intake in the rear. It is too big to install the sender,you will need to use a bushing to step it down or you can drill and tap the plug

Bob, is there any certain place to drill & tap the intake elbow? I was thinking on the backside about 3 inches from the 90 degree.

I put it in line with the dipstick tube to support and protect the line

You should not be mounting the sender on the engine, bad choice. Add a grease gun hose to the boost bolt and zip tie the sender in strategic spot.

Here is where I mounted the sender. Also my picture of the typical bolt area which I could not use with the larger sending unit as it would hit the injector nut.

I used a 90* brass adapter with my boost bolt in the front inner hole and it worked just fine. Shad
