    fitting a boost gauge to an 850 t5

    im looking to put a boost gauge in my 850, ive got the location sorted, i just need to know where to tap in to, ive dropped the trim panel above the pedals and theres a few pipes that it could be, i cant quite see which one goes up to the standard gauge.

    anyone got a pic of the one i should tap into?

    thanks in advance

    Little black hose under the dash driver side, it's not the ones that go to the pedals as they are for the cruise control.

    You can just t into them and run both gauges, as I used to.

    If it's goes yo the pedal it's not those ones would be the easiest way of saying, it's the only remaining hose.
