Hello,

Im trying to install a boost gauge and I cant figure out where to hook the sender into to detect the boost. Does anyone have a pic of the tube that it connects too?

Thanks

The hose that goes to where the stock fuel pressure regulator was...ha, sorry if that doesn't help. I don't know if I still have a pic.

Yeah Wesmaster I saw your post before where you posted a pic showing where it connected but the image on the post isnt there anymore. To make it easier here is a picture of my engine. Does the sender need to connect to A, B, or C or is it another hose?

Thanks

I'd have to double check on my car...which is in the shop. Hopefully someone else will ring in.

You have a different fuel pressure regulator so can't say for sure on your pic. Here's mine - it comes off the top of the regulator:

I guess it would "A" on your pic.

Dangit. I reconnected the sender to the place you guys said and still nothing. Can you guys see anything that could be wrong with it?

It doesn't appear to have a grounding wire. If it was meant to screw into something metal on the engine, the way you have it, it still needs to be grounded.

There is only one screw to attach a wire on so Im guessing I will also attach a ground wire to that screw. Would that work if I had the wire running to the gauge and the ground wire coming off the same place?
