Guage Instalation

I just got my boost, tranny, and pyro guages in the other day and I am wondering where to install the tube for the boost guage. Wondering if there is anyone who could help.

You can T into the map sensor line but if you have a boost relief valve you wont get proper readings. If you have not added one then thats the easiest way. Another way is to drill and tap out the air horn. Or you can Remove the AIH unit and replace it with a plug that has the boost gauge attachment in it, black cloud sells them look about half way down the page.

I second that post by Tank.
As for the boost, Black Cloud Diesel, one of our sponsors, has an AIH delete plug with a fitting for the boost.
It's easy and works great.
I did it in about 15 minutes, complete.

It deletes that nasty intake heater that robs maybe 20% of your air.
