Default boost gauge?

where is the best place to "t" in the boost gauge and is copper or nylon line better?

also how does the waste gate work with more psi to it or less psi to it??

thanx

umm, the T should be placed in-line with a vaccum line (usually the one coming off the manifold)

I am currnetly using copper tubing

the wastegate is on the turbo and it is what allows more/less boost depending on what the car is tuned for/what you have your mbc/ebc set at...

gl!

there is a link that says search up top, it will b very helpful for u in the future

you can either use the vacuum line between the intake mani and the DV or the vacuum line between the intake mani and the FPR. DV line is more recommended

Is that when you floor the gas going up a hill in 2nd or 3rd? you should have 6psi with the stock KO3 turbo.
you may have a leak somewhere, and it's not always easy to find. What brand boost gauge is it?
