    boost gauge hook up in Ford V-8 Diesel

     



    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
    hank

    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.
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

    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
