Well its 10 pm and I'm in the garage trying to hook up an alky kit I got from Razor.
Heres my questions:
I have an aftermarket gnx type gauge set, it has VDO gauges. I looked at the MAP that is installed on the passenger fender. It looks like the new 3 bar MAP I bought with the kit. The plug even looks the same. So am I correct in thinking that I can just switch out the old with the new?
Second , I followed the vacuum hose from the MAP and found it disconnected and laying behind the valve cover! I believe the original owner must have disconnected it from the 4th metal vacuum tube on the throttle body. There was a line there going to the passenger compartment. I disconnected it and the VDO boost gauge quit working so mystery solved.
So if I hook up the new MAP to the metal vacuum line , where would be a good place to splice in for my VDO boost gauge. I don't want to interfere with the alky in any way.
Thanks for any help.

I would run the line to the map and insert a tee in that line to the boost gauge. It will not interfere with the map

YEAUP what he said ^^^^
just make sure that NONE of the lines LEAK and that they are in excellent condition. And zip tie EVERY connection.
