Boost gauge

[ryanhuuu]

Hi, I have almost 10k miles and have been running my bronco on every mod I can find. I’m currently trying to go for my goal aesthetic and add a physical boost gauge but cannot find the “turbo vacuum/intake manifold vacuum” line to be able to measure the boost. Any chance anyone here knows the location or a way I could add a physical boost gauge? Thanks

What's wrong with the incorporated digital one?

Boost can be read off of any vacuum port on the intake manifold, I haven't checked the 2.3 but there tends to be 1-2 extras (capped off blanks) on a lot of vehicles.

Nothings wrong with it, just wanted to add a physical one for the aesthetic.

I talked to a ford advisor and he pulled up 2 schematics of the bronco engine bay where you could pull vacuum pressure. I’ve looked online and if you were to replace the part 2420B (bc you have to cut it open) it’s like $50 on eBay. I’ll post pics below

You can put a T Fitting in the line to you BOV and run a hose to the guage.

The Boost on the Bronco is not like the old Thunderbirds and other turbo motors. Watch the digital gauge, it barely offers any boost, and when it does, it's very short-lived. I mean, I love the old analog boost gauges that came in 80-90's cars, but this thing will look spastic on a bronco.

Come on, you used to have modded cars, you know damn well a boost gauge alone adds at least 5 HP.
