boost guage installation question
Just wanted to get some advice on where to take my boost reading from. I have seen some say to drill a hole in the intercooler duct just after the turbo and others say to just put a tee fitting on the line going to the MAP sensor (upstream of the relief valve or pressure regulator if you have one installed). which one of these is the best option and why?
thanks,
jeff

i have read on a couple of manufactures sights that it is ok to install a tee in the map sensor for pre '99 psd's but you should tap the manifold after the turbo for '99 and newer. i do not know why but they made it clear they did not want you tapping into the map line on the newer trucks. try looking at www.westerndiesel.com they used to have the install instructions on their sight.

my guess is that the manufacturer wanted to stay away from anything that may throw an CEL and by tapping into the yoke they stayed far away from the MAP. this way nobody could ever blame their guage for damaging the MAP or causing a CEL. Like HS says it makes alot of sense to mount it in the MAP line if that is good enough of a place fo Ford to take their measurement.
