Default Drive pressure gauge

I want to put have a way of seeing what my drive pressue is once i get my truck babk together. Is it just a boost gauge in the exhaust somewhere? If it is just a boost gauge then would it melt being in the exhaust?

Yes it is just a normal boost gauge. However you'll want to run anywhere from 2' to 5' of copper tubing between the exhaust and the guage so the gas has enough time to cool.

Depending on if this is a permanent install, you'll want to get a filter of some sort so the soot doesn't plug up your gauge. If you'll only use it for tuning I wouldn't worry about it.

Just a basic inline air filter for something like an air gun.
