Autometer boost gauge install

[Norton450]

Where is the best place to install the T for an autometer boost/vac gauge on a MCX nytro?

Any vac source will work fine.

boost gauge

I have mine in the vac line 4" from the Blow off valve. Right next to the tee for the fuel pump regulator.

You need to tie into a vacuum line that is located between the throttle plates and the motor. If you dont only the boost part of the gauge will work.

so at the blow off valve i wrong ?

Sidhill is right, it needs to be post throttle bodies so you can read vac. Sorry I was thinking it was a boost controller, where it wouldn't matter.

I installed it inline with the BOV, and when i fired it up it DID read vac @ idle. should it not be reading vacuum there?

If it is reading a vacuum there then you have it tied into the correct line along with the BOV. Does your BOV pulse a little air at idle? My apex runs right at 5-7 In. hg of vacuum at idle.

yes it does pulse a little, shows right around 5-7 in hg. @ idle.
