1) Disconnect negative(-) battery cable.
2) Cut hose between the surge tank and the fuel regulator.
3) Connect the cut edges (a) and (b) by using the three-way connector.
4) Connect the supplied hose to the three-way connector (c).
5) Connect the other side of the supplied hose to the gauge (d).
6) Connect the white wire and the black wire.
7) Reconnect negative(-) battery cable.


Confused about step 2 where exactly is the surge tank in a stock d16y8?

There's a vacuum hose that connects from fuel regulator to the intake manifold, you split that hose, and T it off is what I meant.

Thanks, lemme see if i can figure this out haha hard without a helms.

should be very easy. The fuel regulator is on the top right side of the engine, right next to the fuel rail..

if youre hooking up a boost gauge.. i prefer tapping into the brake booster hose rather than the fpr hose.

null.

it wouldn't matter, just as long you don't have 124124 t's on that one line, it'll be fine if it's just one source using that line.

sure... i was just stating MY preference though..

yeah any vacuum source would work, fpr is common but a lot people use a vacuum manifold for multiple lines. i have my boost controller and boost gauge teed off the same line coming from my vacuum mani. i wouldnt suggest having too mani tees though.

all step 2 and 3 are saying is cut the fpr vacuum source and then reconnect the gauge and fpr lines all to the 3way tee. make sure you get the vacuum line and not the return line though

Alright thanks for all the help guys after sunday i haven't really gotten around to installing it yet. Hopefully i'll do it in the next couple of days.
