This is a
look at the proper location for drilling
and tapping for the boost gauge on a
6.0L if the "T" fitting installation
isn't desired. This location for
the boost gauge eliminates the rattling
noise sometimes associated with boost
gauges on the 6.0L Powerstroke. A
90 degree compression fitting is used in this
application. Thread size is
1/8"NPT. Requires a size "R" drill bit
(0.339" or 21/64"). Refer to the tap for
the exact size (most have it printed on
their shank). This
is just an optional method for those who
don't wish to use the "T" fitting kit
shown in the previous image.
Torque Spec. for the 4 bolts on the
intake elbow is 23 ft. lbs.
NOTE: If you don't have this 90°
Fitting, you can still use the straight
fitting that comes with most tubing
kits. Simply drill/tap at the 11
O'clock position in this image (above
the upper L bolt) |
