i hooked my up to the fpr, as the greddy instructions said. I have a electronic though, but that should not make a difference.

oh yeah... it a mechanical z-series... thanks...

 

anything comming off your intake mani.

 

What, do the people here have a problem with autometer? Sheesh, those gauges from japan cost more than my turbo did.

 

here's how i hooked mine up


edit: the black hose is just there to cover the ungle *** copper line

You can split from any line coming into the mani. I used the nipple from the cruise control, since I don't have cruise anymore.

Vacuum is the same everywhere in the manifold after the throttle body

 

Until recently autometer didn't offer any backlit gauges, however VDO does and they are very nice (stock for porsche, sp?)

 

everyone... thanks for the replies...

off topic... mos, i noticed your sig...did you get your smc yet?... installed?... can you speak on it?... how does it run?... lemme know... thanks...

 

... so just to confirm... from the diagram below, i would follow the section in the red circle and NOT in the blue circle... right?... because i thought it was the other way around... lemme know... thanks for all the replies...

 

anyone try this?

then theres the autometer copper pressure gauge tubes. i think there larger in diameter. and flexible.

 

since we're on the topic of autometer guages, does anybody know where I can get replacement bulb connector?

 

That's awesome. Yeah, mine is slow as hell when climbing. I hear the turbo spool at 2,500, but don't get in the positive #'s until like 3,500. I'm going to go do that right now...

Let us know how it turns out if anyone tries it...

Yea but why bring them back up rather than make it easier and make a new topic asking your question

Because everyone asks people to search...and they may just need clarifacation.
