Default Boost guage install

Have anyone install boost guage on their 2.7 EB. I was wondering where did you tap your vacuum line. Photos would be great too.

I had the prosport boost gauge for my 2.7. Went to instal it and tried tying into the vacuum line and didn't work. Sold it, and bought the ultra gauge and plugged into the obd port. Best decision ever.

Super clean look and works great. Lots of parameters.

if your only getting vac and not boost you may be tied in to the wrong duct or in a vac line , you need tobe between turbo and intake manifold. do you have a pic of where your tied in?

Considered a universal gauge pod? They make some that screw into the pillar but you can use a good double sided tape if you don't want to screw into it

They also have ones that mount to the top of the dash, but they sit high enough that you can put it in the cubby tray at the top

If you don't use your sunglass holder that would be a good spot to put one using s universal pod.

Or if you can fiberglass you can get a spare pillar and a universal pod and fiberglass it together and paint to match.
