Thanks Nate. I see what the map line is now and I think I will Tee into it first and see if it will be satisfactory before I start drilling and tapping. I did order a DP Tuner chip about two years ago and installed it per their instructions. Can't believe the difference it made in the truck. Thanks, Mike

I installed a T fitting into the MAP line because it was so simple to do without needing to drill and tap. My boost gauge's needle does vibrate a little under heavy acceleration, but it settles down and is easy to read and has created no problems over the years.


I believe it is common for stock engines to see 17 or 18 psi under full effort, approaching 20.
