  • DIY: BOV LINE & Boost Gauge Line

    Okay, so since the most common question out there that I notice was where do my Bov line and Boost gauge line go? its pretty self explanatory, and Google search is your friend when it comes down to simple lines like these. First of, in order to even run the bov or gauge, you must have a vacuum line. So here is a DIY writeup that i did for the noobs who need help.

    Boost Gauge Line Install
    First here is how you connect the Boost Gauge, I am using a sunpro boost gauge and next to it is a shitty light show called Air fuel gauge narrowband. I recommend for you forced induction people to use a wideband, its a more accurate reading then a light that bounces between lean and rich all the time. But anyways lets continue.

    After you have mounted your gauge, you will want to run your lines under the steering column for a cleaner look. Here is a picture.

    Next you are going to want to find a ground for the black wire, I used any clean metal surface under my dash, here is a picture.

    Next you will want to use the red wire for your power and lights. You are suppose to slice that wire into the cigarette power line, but i decided to just tap it on the instrument panel lights on my fuse box which is a 10A.. The reason why I did this, was because maybe later on the future i might want to remove the turbo kit and keep all my wires not spliced. Anyways lets move on. Heres the picture.

    Now after all the wires have been installed, you are going to run the clear line from the boost gauge past through the firewall and run it out onto the engine bay. As you can see in the picture below, I have tapped the line onto my fuel pressure regulator and added a 3/16M T.

    And now you are Finished with that. Now lets proceed to the Bov line, very very simple. Okay here we go noobies.

    BOV line
    Changed my lines, its now connected to the brake booster.. Pictures will be up tomorrow.
    I hope the pictures and my write up will help, good luck & happy boosting.

          he is a noob cause you shouldnt grab vacum at the spot he mentioned......

          and anyone thats used a boost gauge before knows that shitty plastic line that comes with it is junk and you should opt to get some good line!

                        listen i did give you a a for effort , but see where you are pointing at the purge line that line is a DEAD line the only time it has vacum is when the purge is activated.so its usless and you shouldnt give false info on a diy.

                        you should run the vacum source of the vacum FEED line to the purge, remove the purge cause its not needed, run a 4 niple vacum tee and run both the gauge and bov from there.

                        again a for effort.
