[Peugeot-L] Re: 88 505 Turbo Anyone installed a boost gauge?

   Adding an real boost gauge is money well spent.

   I put mine at the bottom of the front pillar, right near the tweeter.

   I simply ran my vacuum hose thru the hole in the firewall underneath the fuse box. I fished it through and ran it up.

   I bought a boost gauge from Summit Racing. You want one with a damper.

   The one I paid about $30 from Summit melted inside when I let it stay in the sun too long. Now I know to cover it before it bakes if the car is going to setting in the sun.

  When the gauge went, I was worried that there was something serious wrong with the engine, like a plugged converter or something, as the engine vacuum readings were whacked. I was relieved when I switched the gauge with another one I had, and the readings were normal again.
