Poor man's boost gauge
« on: July 31, 2010, 08:19:42 PM »
Not much to say here.

T Fitting 1/4"
Tire Pressure Gauge where you can unscrew the part that goes into the tire
NTP fittings and adaptors to get a nipple on the end of the Tire Pressure Gauge
Vacuum hose 7/32" aka the same size as what's in the car
Might need some kinda clamp, but mine haven't come loose yet after some boost.

Follow Kelu's guide but with the above cheap parts instead of a fancy kit.

This was just temporary for me, so I didn't install it in my car. Flung it over the windshield.

Kenny,

What is the box next to your shift light?

Intersting booost gauge.  Good to see true pressures.  Might try this.

Thanks Kenny!  I believe your post had some influence with me.  At the Texas NASSM I may pull the trigger on this one and have it installed!
