Hello again,

without this forum I would be in trouble as there in nobody here in Greece to answer my questions.

My new question is where I have to connect a vacuum line for a boost gauge. The distance from the engine to the cluster is 3-4 meters. Will that be a problem ?

What is the diameter of the vacuum line I ahve to get ?

Thanks again.

Kostas

Length from the engine should no be a problem. Most boost gauges come with plastic line to run but I suggest that at points where it needs to flex (between the firewall and engine and the gauge and interior mounting point) you should use flexible rubber vacuum line. Make sure to use plastic wire ties to "clamp" down your rubber vacuum line to the plastic line and connections to the gauge so they don't blow off.

T off the same port as the fuel pressure regulator. That's a vacuum/boost port.
