boost gauge install [was: RE: another plea for a canister pur ge valve...]

[Beatty, Robert]

Ken,

I installed a boost gauge last summer in my 5ktq.  Hardest part was getting
the right fittings for that 1/8" dia hose.  I put a T in at the ECU and just
ran my line up under the dash and out the defrost vent right next to the
A-pillar.  Came out nice actually and the gauge is nice to have now.

S'cool.  A lister came through and the part should be on its way.  
Thanks Steve, and all who responded.

Now I'm in the middle of replacing my passenger side window 
regulator, and I had to leave to get some grease for the door handle.

I'm going to be installing a boost gauge after this project, and I was 
looking for some info.  The Audifans server seems to not be 
responding, otherwise I'd look in the archives.

I just want to know if I have to run a separate pressure line to the 
motor (where?), or can I tee off the line to the ECU.  Would it be 
bad to tee off the ECU line?

Thanks,

Ken
