Was wondering what vac line people have been using to hook up their boost guage on a b5... i tried one last night on the line from the Intake mani to the DV... is this ok? is this what everyone else uses? it was the only good one i could find, unfortuneately i couldnt get an accurate reading because the vac line i was using sucked nuts and was all crimped...

 

That is usually the line everyone uses for the boost guage. I would replace the line since yours is about to go.

 

Awe recommends to go to the line to the fpr thats what I tap'd to no problems

 

fpr stand for....

 

oh sorry

fpr is fuel pressure regulator..its the vac line closest to the firewall on the top part of the engine running from the manifold to the fuel pressure regulator

 

some people say thats a bad idea, I have run them both ways.. i just feel better with going to the line in the front..

 

yea I have heard that too but I dont really think its a problem.. I left myself extra vac line in case there is an issue in between the firewall

 

I ran mine off the line closest to the radiator with no problems. I did however have to replace the whole vac line since it was deteriorating.

 

Tapped mine at the front of the manifold

 

I would tap the intake manifold since is a solid unit and you really never tend to have any problems with the manifold like you can with the FPR at times.
