Default im sure this is an elementary question

Just wondering where on the manifold I need to tap for a reference for my boost guage install... Like I said, I'm sure its a simple answer, I just don't want an innacurate reading.

Also, what should I do about my PCV system to prepare it for boost???

On the passenger side, under the plastic cover if I remember correctly. You will have to snip the plastic cap off, and then you can use the port.

Well I know 7845 is running something other than a truck intake, aren't you as well 02? I'm sure there's somewhere back there to use, just haven't dug around too much.

its there ben. just take look at the pass side. It opens like a coolaid thing lol. Just snap the end off then theres an open port. IIRC you dont have a engine cover

PCV is an argument. Right now i removed the hose to the TB. plug the tb port and have a one way valve on the drivers side to stop the boost. Pass valve cover has a breather. I plan on taking that breather off, and running that hose through a cathc can and into the air filter to have vacum

I am pretty much doin the same thing on the pass crank case vent. Except since my air filter is in the back off the truck. I am just goin to stick a small air filter over one of the hose bard ends on my catch can.
