where is the best place to tap the boost line on an 01 auto intake manifold or the intercooler just before the engine?

dsldan

There is a plug on the manifold that can be removed and used....

Shovelhead

I removed the intake horn and drilled and tapped a fitting for boost.

i used the manifold route but also saw one done like shovelhead and i was wondering which way was the best. or more acurate i guess.

BigBlue

There's a plug in the block right by the MAP sensor that can be used. I've used that one on mine for about 30K miles.

0k i guess my thread should have said what is the most accurate reading. I thank you guys for responding and letting me know where you hooked up but i already knew the 2 places was just trying to figure out which one would be more accurate or if i was the same at both locations.

Shovelhead

It should be the same when measuring at either location.

thank you shovelhead. enjoying this beautiful weather? where in VA are you i travel through there back and forth to CT almost once a month. matter of fact im going up next week

Floorman

very nice truck by the way !

I did mine like Shovelhead's. I wouldn't recommend tapping before the intercooler-- you want to know what you're getting at the manifold.

I actually saw that done at chapter 18s first meeting and liked it I wasn't sure if it was a better place or not.

thanks for the help guys
