Default Where do I hook in the trans gauge ???

Well I got my gauges in today !! I got the boost hooked up and ran it down the road cause I couldnt wait . The most boost I was able to get from a dead stop was 18 psi . I stil have the stock plate in the stock position though and I know when I move it up my boost should increase ( right ? ) . But what about the trans gauge ? Where the heck does it tie into ? I ordered everything from isspro and it came with a few fittings but I'm still a little confused . Help ..............

There are a few options here. The most accurate place to read temp is in the cooler line running to the cooler. I've seen lines for sale that have a temp sensor port already in them. I can't find a link now, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

The way mine is set up is, I have a Mag-Hytec trans pan that has a sensor port in it. Also, you have the option to drill a hole in the trans pan, and weld a nut that the sensor can thread into.

This is debatable by some but the best place, IMO is in the hot line. I will try to find some pics.

yeah the easiest is the extra ports on the passenger side of the tranny right above the pan

I figured i would thow my .02 in so i can get my first post on this forum, genos and diesel manor sell a adapter that goes around the cooler lines and your sensor screws in to it they say it is accurate +/- 5* or somthing like at 200* IIRC. That is nice because you can put it on your hot cooler line befor it goes through the cooler so you know your hottest temp.

the hot line is the best place..........someone makes a "T" to tap the hotline with a port for the sensor....this is best by far

I don't suppose it was figured which is the hot line, was it? Front or rear hose from the tranny? Looking to relocate my trans temp sensor. Thanks.
