[s-cars] RE: boost gauge plumbing

[Cody Payne]

I 2nd that heheh..that is pretty funny but no out of the realm of something I would do ;-)

As for my routing I actually dropped down the through the holes in the relay box under the hood.  Really was a piece of cake.  Then channeled a small notch in the box to feed the vacuum line from the boost gauge to where I T'ed it off the boost line under the black plastic water run off panel.

Works like a charm...just like Paul's suggestion..I was just getting tired of Popping that grommet out and having to find it and put her back in.

I just installed a vac/boost gauge in my 95.5 S6, tapping into green air li=
ne in the drivers footwell.  I must have missed the list-post that said "do=
n't do that".  I am happy to report that I get +5 psi whenever I use the do=
or locks, but other than that the gauge just sits there with nothing to do.=
  I think this gauge might be a lot more useful measuring intake manifold v=
acuum and pressure - where's the easiest place to tap in?  I know there's o=
ne for the ECU on the passenger side, anything closer?

For others who might choose to take my route check the lock pressure before=
 moving on to use it as a boost gauge - you'll want to add  a McMaster-Carr=
 5449K192 5mm tube coupling to your supply list...

Phil-

1st...  BWWAHahahaaa...

2nd...  options vary, I found it easiest to go right from where you
incorrectly are now, past the pedal cluster, through the FW through the
large rubber grommet there...  via a nice little AoA provided spare
passageway.  This dumps you under the MC, and you can T in right there as
the line runs east to west...  or is that vice versa?

I'll show you @ NE //SFest ;-)...

-P
'95 //S6 mit 5 psi power locks, but I wouldn't know that
