I spliced mine into the vac. line that feeds the f.m.u.

Vaccum line directly on the manifold, i get a more accurate reading there. Some people use the same one as the FMU.

My mechanical gauge is tapped into my vaccuum tree while my PMS line has its own port off the intake. They both give me the same reading.

 

[MattMan88]

which port do you use on the vacuum tree?

 

[luckythirteen13]

i have my mechanical gauge hooked directly to the upper manifold

Mine runs directly into the lower intake. Do you have a stock intake? Most aftermarket intakes have a place to run the gauge to.

 

[RacEoHolic330]

which port do you use on the vacuum tree?

just one of the unused ports. I don't have cruise control so I just hooked it up to that port.

 

[MattMan88]

yeah that'll work for me for now untill I put my new intake manifol on.

Alright............call me stupid if you want but I just can't seem to get the guage to work. I blew into the tube to see if the needle would move and it did so I know the needle isn't stuck. I plumbed into my vacuum line to the FMU and the guage didn't work either. I have tried a couple other lines and still nothing. Can someone send a diagram or a picture showing exactly which vacuum line I need to hook to. I have a Trick Flow Intake if this helps as far as picking a vacuum line. Help !

i spliced into the line that my fp regulator is hooked onto, what i did was cut the hose put a T style connector on it and i zip tied the tube to a small section of vacuum line

do u have any vacuum leaks?

 

[91five-o]

No vacuum leaks that I know of. The car runs very well with no drivability issues at all. I'll have a look at that line off the FPR and see if that works.
