Default Boost gauge?
Quick easy question, When installing the boost gauge do I tap into the line going from the dv to the intake manifold. If not which one is it.

What is the correct VAC reading supposed to be? I've heard of 20 but some say anything up to 15...

Just finished installing it today, Im getting 20 for the vac reading and between 5 to 8 pounds of boost. This sound right for not being chipped.
