on the lobster is ok.. u wont be getting any vaccuum reading tho... but your engine is probably seeing less that 15 psi if thats wat it is at the carb top...

you can T it in on the line that goes from the Aei.. to the inlet manifold.. thats normally where people get the reading from

15 psi and 220bhp... umm not too sure what to say about that :scared:

If its 220bhp fair play. Guessing more at the flywheel though. But get a rolling road print out on here and we can all take a look :)

At that level of boost, I'm guessing neither.

I was ignoring the boost seeming that he was asking about where to plumb it in.
