where does the vacum line hook up too , it doesnt look like theres enough line that came with the guage to go to the turbo , can i get a longer hose from like home depot or somthing??? this is an autometer mechanical vac/boost guage...

 

mine is connected to intake manifold, the same hose that connects to wastegate, get a t-fitting, - all that you can find at autozone type stores..

 

where in the intake mani??? i dont have my car here to look at it and i cant remember where the wastegate hooks to

 

Just use a "T" fitting and run it off another vacuum line.

 

any vacum line????

 

and my guage came with that small hard plastic line , could i buy rubber hose and use that??????

 

You could also "tap" the back of your intake manifold.

ya... but to keep it clean u might as well choose the closest vacuum line to the gauge and/or gauge sensor

 

ya , ill do that

 

Is this the purpose of running a Vacuum manifold? So you can just run lines to what - Turbo, wastegate, boost controller, boost guage? Sorry, I'm a little confused.

yes but remember that the more sources you plug to a vacuum block the weaker each source's signal will be. So make sure u have a big enough vacuum on the little block port to supply all your attatchements.

 

ex motors(dont know if other IM's have it. have a vacum port on the back of the manifold that doesnt go to anything , i hooked my guage up there and works perfectly
