Thread: boost gauge hook up in Ford V-8 Diesel

Tweet

Hi Gang,
Our son just bought a '92 Ford PU with a turbo V-8 diesel and he wants to install a boost gauge .
Any idea where to plumb it?
I figure some where on the intake manifold there should be a fitting .
or is there any lines he could Tee into?
thanks

It goes in your hat that sits on top of the intake. Right where the turbo inters the hat. You would drill a hole (and tap) of the left lower side of that, that's if it doesn't have one already! Hope this helps....

After two months, I hope he has figured it out.

the day after we posted the question our son rolled the truck
(btw it is a '02 not a '92)
big snow storm and plenty of ice on the road + too fast for the conditions
big fat tires plowing ---tight corner--- spun it around and went into the ditch backwards and flopped on its roof--a farmer came by with a dump truck and helped flip it back on its wheels
it will buff out-ha



from a clean truck into a beater work truck in one hard learned lesson
he is OK but with a bruised EGO
