need boost gauges help

[663csx-t]

hi guys im working on a 86 awd onmi glh srt4{ this is lotsaboost car}
so i notice the boost gauge was not hooked up but when i hook it up the car would run funny like it was missing or something
when i unhooked it the car sounds good so im not sure what to do if any one can help me out thanks

Hmm...your gauge line doesnt have a hole in it does it? And where are you hooking it up? It really shouldnt make any difference in the way the engine runs if you hook a gauge up to it, unless it has some seriously low vac problems or something idk lol

Agreed. Where are you hooking it up?

ill get you a pic

well the cam is dead and dont have a cord for video
the line runs from the boost gauge and splits off into intake then into the same line as the fpr then into the solenoid on the right buttom side this how carlose had it and no cracks in the lines

[Orangetona]

Well...I wouldnt suggest having that line tied in directly to the fpr line. That could be your whole problem. The fpr should have its own dedicated one.

[663csx-t]

thats true
i guse ill just have to play with some lines and see what happends
how should this be hooked up

Id hook it up to whatever your main vacuum port off the manifold is. T it off one of the large lines. Not to a brake booster or anything though.

Why not? Mines tee'd off there and Ma Mopar gave us a few other places to add vacuum lines at the booster.

Meh...im sure it probably wouldnt cause a problem, but with his situation dont you think it would probably be better for the boost gauge to be hooked to something that isnt tied into something else?

Idk...if its got a really lumpy cam and stuff (idk the car in question) I would probably just have the booster by itself

In that case, you can't hook vacuum up to anything then because it reality, its all shared,
