Default Need to know where to tap for fuel pressure and boost on Magna charger..

Any one have pictures of where you picked up the boost pressure and fuel pressure on your Radix set up? I called Magnuson today after about 10 minutes on hold, the tech they gave me was not real sure and said that most of the techs were gone today and suggested I go to a performance site..I had already tried the search here and didn't find much.

Also, I have one of the over head type guage clusters any insite as to how to run the wiring up in the overhead?

Thanks,

Dan

Fuel pressure sending unit - there's a pressure port on the driver's side fuel rail (at least there was on mine) that you can remove and thread the sending unit into. For boost, I just ran a T adapter in the bypass valve vacuum line.

For the wiring thing, run your wires across the roof and down the driver's side a-pillar.

Hey Thunder,

Thanks that's exactly what I needed. I'm having second thoughts about using the overhead set though, I think I would be better with the A-pillar pod. My overhead is one designed for like a pair of glasses or something and comes back quite a bit from the windshield. I don't think it's possible to watch those and the road at the same time. Although it does look nice..sorry kind of off topic here,

Thanks again,

d

I have the overhead ones and an a-pillar and the a-pillar is definitely a lot easier to look at while keeping your eyes sort-of on the road. I would only get the overhead if you're out of other places to put gauges. I personally have a triple pod a-pillar with boost, trans temp, and fuel pressure, then the overhead with dual aeroforcetech scan gauges, and then a wideband in the stock cluster where the trans temp gauge option goes.

Damn Thunder think you got it covered?, you got auto pilot so you can watch all those?? Bet it looks cool at night too.

I've been looking around a bit for one of the a pillar pods, the overhead one I have came with all the stuff I got with the Radix, it's really nice has the switches and all, but I agree I think I should find an A pillar pod.
