anyone have a picture of the vacuum line that i have to tap into to install a vacuum gauge? or if you dont have a picture than a detailed explanation of where this line is would work too. if this is in the wrong forum sorry just move it. any help is greatly appreciated.
For my boost/vacuum gauge I used a rubber T to tap into the line that comes off of the FPR (fuel pressure regulator, located on the fuel rail)-
The line going down returns back to the S/C....should be the throttle body or intake manifold in your case, and the line heading to the firewall went directly to the gauge. Looking back I could've installed that a little cleaner, but eh it worked

k i have no idea where that is on a 2.4 and non supercharged

1. Find your fuel rail
2. Find the fuel pressure regulator (on the passenger side end of the rail)
3. Find the vacuum hose connected to the FPR
4. "T" off of that vacuum line
5. Run the line from the "T" to the gauge

the line on the very left of the fuel rail? its really small how can i fit a T on there? the T connection you plug into the line but the line is really thin. i guess ill try by trial and error thanks guys.
The T fitting I used was rubber and overlaps the lines, I also used small zipties to make sure everything stayed vacuum tight....no pun intended!
Check Autozone, I know ours was over by the oil filters. Same T can be found at other auto parts stores too.
yeah i got it now i needed to buy a new t fitting and hose. thanks alot i just needed to study your picture more.

Yep, clean 'em with Windex, and I used foaming tire shine for the rest.
