| For several reasons, the only acceptable place to monitor boost is at the compressor discharge. The reading here will tell many tales about the integrity of the remaining induction tract.
Because it is a very hot location, you will need to run 6" metal line, then splice to your plastic. This will keep the plastic from melting. | |
