Where is the best place to plumb the line for the boost guage on a radix? Im getting ready to put my over head guage pod and autometer guages in and need to make sure I hook up the boost line in the right place. I saw a very informative thread where a guy used braided line for his. id like to do that if anyone has information as to what parts ill need for it.

THanks

 

Oil pan...or next to an O2 sensor...








Best place would be to find a major vacuum line (not one running to an EGR, brake booster, or some other sensor) and put a T in it. Might wanna use zip ties to clamp some of the larger lines onto their ports including your boost gauge line. Might want to check around the vicinity of the vacuum reservoir if your truck has one as their might be an unused fitting their.

 

There is a nipple on the manifold that you can plug it in to. If you are asking about the routing of the line to the gauge, there is a way up the a-pillar and over to the overhead pocket via fish line (i used a coat hangerm how getto is that?)

 

I can figure out the routing of the line from to the guages, just curious as to the best place to get the actual boost reading from. Is the plastic line sufficient or should i try and go braided?

 

Plastic line is fine. Just becareful when setting the ferrule as a leak there will give you a flase reading.
