I did not trace them but I would suspect it goes to the stock "boost" gauge that the computer uses to caculate from. If i get time i will look it up, who has access to the engine schematics?

Those are on the intake side of the SC. No boost till you go through the SC.

Are you only going to run a boost gauge or do you plan on running multiple gauges in the future such as A/F, fuel press, EGT, ect? We offer pillar pods if that is something you're interested in. We also could custom fiberglass something for you if you wanted to take it in a different direction. Let us know if we can be of any help.

You would think there is a vacuum line somewhere to tap into like other cars. I was able to tap into my turboed cars with no problem. Are all supercharged cars the same that you would have to tap into them the way peeps are tapping into their Crossfires???? Can't believe we have to drill somewhere just for a vacuum.

no, on my old car which was roots supercharged it was as simple as T'ing into a vaccum line that came out of the intake manifold.

I think that since the SRT6 is using a MAP sensor there is no need to run an extra line. Even if they had a gauge from the factory they would still just pull the data from the ECU most likely.

Aluminum is easy to drill and tap so it is pretty simple to add the fitting.
