Electric Boost Gauge wiring??? What is this? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Take the boost line off the blower and run a new line from blower to drivers side of car, then just use a T fitting and conect the boost line and the line you removed from the blower together. Thats how mine is set up.

Looks like a vacum reference switch.

Motor cat is Right. Its the Pressure switch for you Vacuum reference for your BAP.

It's a vacuum switch with a diaphram, it looks like it gets the vaccum/boost from the port that the rubber hose is connected to which is connected to the switch and the wiring goes to the boost guage

just taking a wild guess at the picture shown

Boost line? You talking about a new tube and connect both the BAP device AND gauge with?

Are we possitive? Makes sense to me but I didn't know the BAP would need a vacuum line?

Never had a gauge on it.

.

Yeah on a LS1 you would hook it up to the brake booster line at the back of the intake manifold just like that.

Yep.....just install a "Tee" before the switch as stated above and your golden

Yes. Connect your boost a pump and new gauge boost line together. If you run a new line from the blower to drivers side and make the T connections there you will have easy access for tuner boost hook up and also easy removal of gauge line or boost a pump line. The line on the blower should have a zip tie on it to keep it from blowing off. Hope this helps.

Yup. Helps a ton. Thank you.

Where should I get power for my gauge? I don't want to get it from the BAP line.

Fuse box on drivers side dash.

Awesome.

I was going to tap the tapped blower coolant pump fuse.

The inside way will work better. Sweet.

You guys rock.

Is f17, or f18 powered during engine crank? I just bought an Autometer boost gauge that needs power when the engine is cranking so it can reference current atmospheric pressure.
