Default good pics

I got the PM and I think the gauge needs to be redirected from the wastegate set up. THanks for the help. I am going to try and tackle this weekend. I will post my results.

THanks

I cant tell if it is even hooked to the wastegate from that picture... but here is a few different ways to connect it...

On the picture attached...Blue is the map sensor and map line, Yellow is the Brass T you can make to connect your 1/8" plastic line.

This one the teal line, this is where your factory intake air heater is, delete it and install a plug there, then hook your boost line there.

IS a 1/4" line too large of a line to tie into the map sensor for the boost gauge?

No, its just tough to route it... 1/8" is what most use... You could use 1/4 to the firewall and then switch there...

Default boost

I have the tube and I am going to give it a try. THanks for the help.

The boost re-install worked. I am getting up to 16 +/- 1 PSI.
THanks for all the info provided.
