① Cut the vacuum hose which can measure pressure directly from a surge tank or a intake manifold in the engine room. (e.g.,the hose connecting to a fuel regulator, a charcoal canister, etc.)
② Insert a T-joint and connect the various hoses and joints as shown in Figure A.
③ Pull the nylon hose to the inside of the car through a wire harness grommet, etc.
④ Using the I-joint, connect the nylon hose to the unit. (Figure B)

(Depending on the conditions,
it may be necessar y to take
some action to prevent loosening and disconnection of the
various connection points.)
1. Be sure install the Boost Sensor on the inside of the car. (Not in the engine room)
2. Stretch the hose that comes out from the Boost Sensor but do not pull it off.
3. If the hose can measure pressure is other than ø4, please prepare a separately
sold joint that matches the size of the hose.

connections are correct or not.
The unit has been installed into an incompatible
car model.
Please reconfirm the Fitting List.
Upon starting up, the unit will not start in the
newly changed display.
Because after changing displays, if the car’ s engine is turned off within 3 seconds, the new
setting will not be stored, make sure to wait at least 3 seconds before turning the engine off.
Before the opening demo starts the needle briefly moves.
This is due to a special characteristic of the meter and is not a malfunction.
The displayed values are different from the standard
meter.
Due to the ECU information received, the displayed values on this product may differ from those
of standard or other meters.
