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

Ok. I went to install my boost gauge that Darth_Emma sent to me by courtesy.

So I go back to the vacuum hose hook-up and I see this device.

I installed the blower myself. Removed and reinstalled again and I know for a fact that I NEVER put this on here.

Now Vengeance did install my cam and had to remove the Maggie to do it. So I know they put this in and it appears that this is an electronic hook-up?

There is no vacuum tube coming out.

Either way it's fine, I can just remove it but where I'm confused is this......

I followed the wires through the firewall, into the bottom door molding and all the way to the lower rear seat molding toward the rear of the car. It does not go back to the battery and I didn't strip the rear molding out to find the end.

Anyone know what the purpose of this is considering it goes to the rear of the car?

Got me homie. Only thing back there is fuel. Maybe something in that dept.

Do you have a boost-a-pump PQ ?

Looks like a vacum reference switch.

That's my ZR1 MAP sensor under it. The barb that the device is hooked to is where I assumed the boost gauge would go. It's hooked to that barb going into the manifold and electric wires come out of it and to the back of the car via the inside molding.

I don't want to just unhook it without knowing what it is.

I traced the serial number on it....turns out it's a monitoring device registered to someone named Bon Bon?

Hmmmmmmmmm.........

Well I have a mechanical boost gauge. And that's the barb I need to hook the vacuum tube to.

The BAP thing has me a little freaked though.

PQ, do not touch that... It's the flux capaciter...

tkrupinski · 06-28-2012, 07:47 PM

Sorry, thought you were replacing a bad gauge with the new one. Got to be for the boost a pump.

PQ · 06-28-2012, 07:47 PM

Also, the two wires appear to only be single gauge wires. Like neutral and hot.

Thats what I thought at first....but why would the wires go to the rear of the car?

I'll ask Ron.

Just wanted to get some quick ideas.

I can't put my JRE Tensioner and new pulley on without being able to gauge my boost.
