unless your running a turbo you dont need a Vacuum/Boost guage. :nuts:

its normally a thin black rubber hose under the manifold. cant remember where cos its been a while since ive had the std manifold.

I connected mine in the hose to the FPR which is straight VAC.VAC gauges are a good aid when fuel gets to be $1/L, if your a lead foot junkee.

dont have a pik.. but if you look at your front injector rail, you'll see a gold thing with a pipe connected to it on the passenger side of the rail. Connect the guage to there (make sure you use a tee) and youre done.
Gone...

WaTCHME do NOT correct me if I am wrong but not having looked under my bonnet for a while, I am thinking that the "gold thing" on the injector rail would be the fuel regulator valve?
I wouldn't be touching this, I used to have a vacuum gauge on my lancer, yes I used to have a 4g15 powered lancer, all you have to do is hook up the tube to anything on the engine side of the throttle body, perhaps try one of the vacuum lines on the throttle body?

The throttle body is the best place I belive to get the vacuum line from.
