Boost+ to ngauge hook up

[doodguy]

Which way did you run your wires into the cabin and where did you tap in to see the boost on a whipple setup?

Any issues running a vacuum block off break booster and tapping my hobbs switch, boost+ and map nipple on fore regulator to the vacuum block?

Should work fine.

I don't want to read boost off the intercooler/ manifold? Just curious if reading would be different/ more accurate there.

Also is there easy passage to drivers side cabin through firewall?

Need to route my boost plus wire to my ngauge

Anything after a check valve won't see boost. I had to tap in to one if these 2 spots, at least on my centri car.

Best place I can think on the driver side to tap into to would be the sound tube hole.

You can use the drivers side manifold to hook up the block and then split it to all the references you mention. I used the drivers side to tie into the fuel regulator but I dont monitor boost. I saw what it made on a dyno and never really bothered watch it daily.

I used the passenger 1/8 npt and mounted my boost + right behind my pass side foot panel fuse box...just ran a vacuum line through the firewall through a rubber grommet into the fender and up

Was there an existing grommet? Have a pic you can share? I'll also be tapping the fuel pressure monitor into the boost+ so gotta figure out where to put everything keeping things neat. How did you get the wire from passenger fuse box area to the ngauge?

You pull back the carpet a little and you'll see a wire harness and I guess it depends on where your ngauge is because I have mine mounted in my dash so I routed the wire up through a hole into the vent...in your case you might have to just use one of the drivers side and mount the box under the dash somewhere to keep it clean I can always take pictures later on my vacuum line is just temporary until I have more time to clean it up and not use a white line haha

Thanks! Now does it matter if you monitor boost at the inter cooler/ manifold or off the brake vacuum line? Well reading be the same?

Not sure about that haha I'm still learning myself

So i did the opposite and it worked well. I mounted the Boost+ inside the car on DRIVER side to kick panel above left foot area. Used velcro. I routed the vacuum hose through grommet on firewall (see picture) straight to boost +. You have to pull wheel liner back to see and reach the grommet...easy peasy. From the boost+ i routed one power wire behind the dash over to pass side fuse box and used a tap-a fuse. Ground anywhere under drivers side and I routed wires up the through side of dash and A-pillar to Ngauge. Clean setup.
Oh...and yes, I took pic during install, i moved the hose away from the metal edge it was resting on..

Thanks! This is exactly what I'm going to do. MUCH appreciated.

Hey all, for the wiring, im using tap a fuse to the fuse panel in engine, ran power wire to red wire on boost plus. Grounded black wire. Then for accessory, ran it to my fuel pressure monitor, plugged red to red black to black and green fuel pressure to yellow for boost plus box that sound eight?

 

[whatsup62]

Not sure about the accessory but red wire should be to a switchable power source, not constant.

 

[doodguy]

Anyone know which free fuse port i can use for switchable power source?
