Last minute I switched it up and went in another direction. Long story short I am looking to sell these ASAP. On both of the boxes, I opened them to look so I can't say they are "sealed" in the boxes. I did not install them and they are absolutely perfect and new.... just in "open" boxes. These are $199. each..... Looking for $375.00 and I'll pay shipping for both. Will ship ASAP!

Thanks

nice thread hijacking!!!!!!!!

Circled in RED is the boost reference port. The line you T'd into for the Brake Booster only ever sees vacuum.

Jon......I talked to Ted at Janetty racing today and he told me that where i have it t'd is a good boost reference source. are you saying that the tube i am teed into (about 3 inches from where it goes into the brake booster) has only vacuum? I have no problem making an extension over to the nipple on the back of the supercharger. it this a more accurate measurement of boost? is there a nipple under that black cap or do i need to thread something into it to put on a hose for boost reference? Thanks

There is a nipple under the black cap.
I just installed my boost guage at the same spot. It's a little hard to get your hand in there though.

What did you see on the gauges while at idle? while revving and not moving? Thanks for the info!

Where did you bring the tubing to from the port to the gauge? (firewall, fender, etc.)

Guys I found the boost reference point but it looks as if my installer put my BAP sensor there already. Is it safe to still t into this reference point?

yes......but because it is at a 90 degree coming right off the reference, do the "t" further down the line to be sure it doesnt pop off. Make sure to use the wire ties to secure your fittings

Thanks do you know where I can get my positive switched power for my gauges?
