Where should I tap for my boost reference?

Hello,

I am trying to install everything possible before I install my SC, this includes my gauges. I would like to know where I should tap for a boost reference for my boost gauge? If you know, please respond. I appreciate the help!

Thanks,
-Jason

tap into the OEM FPR vacuum line? Do you think this would be a good time to install my AEM FPR even though I do not have the SC in yet? I really am just trying to do everything possible before the actual blower goes in the car.
Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the replies, yes I do have a walbro. Will I have to mess with the fuel pressure on the adj. FPR before boost?

Thanks again.

The Walbro will most likely raise your base fuel pressure by about 7 psi, so you can use the adjustable fpr to bring that back down to the oem base pressure of 34 psi. On the other hand, it's not absolutely necessary and my engine runs fine with a base fuel pressure of 38-40 psi.

Does anyone know if it is okay to have multiple taps coming from the FPR Vaccum line?

Perfectly fine, everybody with a SC does it.
