Boost gauge hookup
I bought an Autometer Boost gauge for My XR4Ti and am trying to figure out where the best place to hook up the boost/vacuum line... Need help asap and a pic would be great

We don't get many XR4Ti's here in the UK, so you might struggle getting a picture. As far as the best way to hook up the boost/vacuum line is concerned, the most common place is the plenum chamber. If your engine management system uses a MAP sensor, you could just tap into it's pressure feed line.

Just anywere on the inlet manifold for the boost gauge find another vacum hose to put a t piece in.

Had a quick look on the internet this morning and found this...
Inside the green square is your plenum and the smaller of the two pipes in the orange square, looks like a vacuum/boost feed which you tap your gauge into.
