Boost guage problem...
I ordered this boost guage thinking is was the one I needed, but reading the directions, it says to connect it to the fuel line. I don't want fuel pressure, I need boost pressure off the magnacharger. I also ordered the sending unit that it came with, Is this the wrong guage or what?
I did get the ones that I ordered, but the directions say to connect it to the fuel line?? How is this going to give me the boost pressure?????
Sounds like they gave you the direction sheet for the fuel pressure sender instead of for the boost sender. That MIGHT mean you also got the wrong sender despite the part number label on its box.
The fuel sender will NOT read vacuum. The boost sender WILL. You need the boost sender.
Call wherever you bought the items, or better, the manufacturer's customer service number, and see if my theory is correct.

My friend, who is doing the guages install for me, called today and the guy said The sender unit is used for both fuel pressure and boost. He is going to install them(got an air/fuel ratio and outside temp guage also) this weekend. Does anyone know the best place to tap into the magnacharger to get the boost pressure?
