Questions about boost gauge


Recommended Posts

I got the booste gauge installed this weekend and I pinched the line trying to get it run. I have a autometer Phantom II gauge and it has 0 to 30 vac on the left and 0 to 20 boost on the right. My gauge runs at around 20 vac when I start it up and goes to around 0 before boost.

Is this normal or do I need to repalce the line I pinched? It does hit right at 5 lbs boost at full throttle which is right for the stock 3.3 pulley. I guess I was expecting the guage to sit at 0 till I got on the radix.

 

Next question. Do you use teflon tape on the fitting going into the manifold? It fits in tight and I don't think it's leaking but I wonder if others used the teflon tape on this.

 

Thanks, Jeremy
