I just got a prosport gauge and alta pod. I tapped it into this line on the passenger side of the intercooler and when I floor it the gauge just goes to zero. Also the vacuum line runs across my entire engine bay (not pretty) does anyone know the right place to tap into for it? Why its not working?

 

I have the same problem, I believe I have used the same vacuum only line that you have. I believe that the proper line to tap into is under the intercooler. I think that there is a nice write up in the "how to" section of the forum.

 

Yeah I found it, it was on the manifold itself but a little PITA to get to. I seem to be pushing only like 13 psi is that normal for a mini with a 15% pullet and intake?

 

I would tell you that it could be, how many miles on the car? It could be age wearing on the engine/supercharger



Also could be a bypass valve that's not shutting all the way. I'm told that when everything is in order it should be about 15lbs. Again that's not to say there is something wrong with your car at all.

 

Snap a picture if you can of the line that you used to have it read boost. Very curious.

 

I used the line on the manifold under the intercooler I will try to snap a pic for you tomorrow

 

I just changed the fluid on the supercharger and it still had fluid in it :/ car is an 03 with 112,000 miles just put the pulley on I need to check more though.

 

The Intake line is the one most of us use, it runs from the manifold to the fuel regulator, so be Absolutely Certain that all of the conections are tight, a vacuum leak on that line can cause a lean-out condition under WOT.

 

i think I actually am hitting 15 psi but more towards redline lol guess i wasnt hitting it hard enough? but Its weird maybe cuz my engine was hot I dont know I need to find out!!!
