And I did a search and found little information.

Where is the "proper" place to run the vacuum line from the boost gauge? I did a search and some people here mentioned that they tapped off the "FPR line". Can someone clarify this?

Today to test the boost gauge, I tee'd off the line that runs from the wastegate-to-coldpipe nipple, and my redtop reported 10 pounds of boost. Is this setup correct too?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I can confirm that you need to tee off of the fpr line. That is how it should be hooked up.

Thanks guys.

I'm getting mixed opinions on this from different threads and forums.

I'm posting a new thread since I'm going to change the subject a bit...

My blitz instructions said fuel pressure regulator. This is the most accurate reading. Wastegate, crank ventilation and other holes are reading different pressures.

Affirmative. The boost gauge now reads as I have originally expected it to read.
