Default Drilling For Boost

Where is the best place to put my boost fitting?

I'm guessing I have to drill and tap one of the tubes for the CAC?

No, sir. LLY. I'll gladly take a pic though if you have one. It might still apply.

If I remember right, Danny told me that the LLy has a vacuum line u can splice into for it.. I'll have to ask him this evening when he gets on here though.

Yeah mines a little different than that. I had the option to splice into the MAF line but don't know if I feel comfortable with that. Just seems odd to me.

yea the boost gauge i bought came with the "t" fitting for splicing.. I wish I could have honestly.. I hate having to drill/tap into parts.. Of course there is always that fancy IC tube that is pre-tapped for it.. I cant recall whats its called.. I'll do some research on it..

that wasn't me who said that. I tapped my LB7 waste gate hose.

Just trill and tap the pipe, they do make a silicone boot that comes with fittings on it that KC was talking about, called a SD manifold. but its pretty pricey.
