    Where do I tie in the vaccum line for the boost gauge, can I use the Vaccum line for the FMU or the bypass valve? Or does it connect with the MAP sensor?

    I installed a T fitting in the line going to the fuel pressure regulator.

    A small source line can't feed the correct reference to numerous sensors/gauges.

    If you follow the line that I have hooked up there, you&#39;ll see that it&#39;s tied into my meth system, and whipple bypass too. The only issue I had in a year of daily driving was that I had to wrap the plastic line going to the gauge connection with electrical tape to keep it plugged in the T-fitting. I think you&#39;ll be fine.
