T-Connector

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find the T-connector needed to install a boost guage on the MCS.

Thanks.

local auto parts store, look under the vacuum lines aisle and there should be all kinds of different sizes.

Besides the T-fitting, you may also need a short rubbery vaccum tube to connect the T to the tube, fuel pressure regulator, etc...:smile:

This is the tee I used for mine. This can be gotten at almost any auto parts store. Being that I tapped into the vacuum circuit at the fuel pressure regulator (the most recommended point), there is not too much room, so I used a 'wye' instead. A short length of vacuum line and an 'adaptor' to connect the nylon boost gauge line is also shown here.



A view of the installed teel with everything connected, looking in from under the intercooler elbow:



Another shot from the side showing the boost gauge line connected:


Hope this helps!
