We don't have a wastegate like a turbocharger. We do however have a boost bypass valve which does limit boost but it works differently. As far as the boost gauge goes, just hook it up to a line which is connected to the intake manifold. One of the lines on the bypass valve has a solenoid which opens and closes depending on the situation so it wouldn't be reliable. Let me see if I can find a picture for you.

You want to hook up to line #4. The boost bypass actuator (The line you're referring to) does have boost on it, but only while the solenoid is open; when the solenoid is closed you would not see boost or vacuum. At line #4 you will see the intake condition after the supercharger at all times.

Uhh......where I just said.....#4. When you are not boosting, there is vacuum. You were reffering to line #2.....you need to hook up to line #4.

If you look at the picture I posted earlier it's not a line that is connected to the boost bypass actuator, it is the line that is connected BEFORE the solenoid. If it doesn't work there, then I don't know what to tell you. I haven't had the need to do this yet. To see boost at the bypass actuator you would need to be around redline so that the solenoid is actuated, therefore you must hook up before the solenoid.

Here's the picture of where it's located; it's #2 on the diagram.:

OMG, just try and hook it up like you did all of the other ones. I don't understand what's so hard about that picture. If any of them will have boost it will be #2 BECAUSE IT'S LABELED BOOST SOURCE. Just try it.
