Default Boost gauge install ?
Hey guys just wondering where you have plumbed the vacuum line in for your boost gauges....I have a TVS1900 on a 5.3. Any pics or info would be helpful. Thanks

I'm more concerned about where you tied into vacuum at. The gauge I have is all electronic so the vacuum line stays under the hood. Im just trying to come up with the best place to pull vacuum from.

If it is a Magnacharger TVS then there should be a nipple on the passenger side rear of the blower that you can use as a boost source. The nipple is coming up out of the upper manifold.
