Will FR boost gauge measure ANY supercharger. and how would you measure boost...meaning how does it hook up?

it "should" measure boost from any sort of super or turbo charger. you want to hook it up anywhere downstream from the supercharger. typically a boost controller would be the best place to pipe one in.

a boost gauge is just a vac gauge that reads pressure also. if you put it on a N/A engine, it will read vac only and never read boost. it will read any blower. and its just a small plastic line, just plumb it right to the intake manifold. an easy way to do it is to "T" into an existing line.

I cheated, I stole a boost guage from a neon that I am using as a vacuum guage until I can go turbo.
