Easy spot to pull vacuum for a boost gauge?

[Mason]

Finally get that boost gauge and oil temp gauge that the factory Supra should have came with

Well it turns out I was wrong. One obd2 gauge per car for aem gauges. Luckily
@Thraxbert recommended this company that makes gauges for diesel trucks that works quite well as daisychains. Plus it’ll show up to 8 different sensors per gauge at once! Along with shift lights, min / max pop up warnings for 20 sensors at a time, and even more features I’ll probably never touch.

Just plug into the obd2. Mounting from ortiz custom pods on the way here.Next update should be the completed setup

Very nice! Do you have a link to the gauges by chance? Would love to pick these up.

there’s this one for the main gauge, then the add on gauge is slightly less. There’s also the “data monster” that’ll read and record up to 100 sensors and save it to a little sd card. It’s quite a bit more

Anyone know where to get the manifold boost tap?

I ordered from THREE different places and none are the correct part they display in their websites. So pissed

I even called the last place I ordered it from (nitrous express) and they said it’s the exact same piece as they show on the site. How can it be so complicated

That looks like it will work, but tap a different location.

I ordered from p3cars.com.. worked great aside from some minor trimming

problem with the a-pillar gauge. It’s built like Chinese garbage, didn’t fit great and snapped once the screw behind the airbag was tightened.

Trying to see what Ortiz pods will do for me, may wrap it in leather if needed. I will update.

Got a custome back cover for my infotainment screen which has a pod for the boost gauge. It has the Supra logo etched on the backside.

Those do look nice guys, I’m just really wanting the gauges on the a-pillar. Ortiz is going to warranty it out, they are dope nice guys that run that place. This time I’m paying a shop to put it in, I highly doubt I put it in wrong but just in case.

Got mine done at GoodSpeed in AZ. Post pics when yours is complete. Would love to see.

Thought I’d throw in my 2 cents (they’re Canadian cents - so probably not worth a lot… lol)

I know a lot of people on the forum have OBDLink Bluetooth scanners for Bimmercode so I decided to try out their app in the garage (since I can’t do anything else with the Supra after 2 feet of snow). The gauges refresh fairly quickly and they are customizable within the free app.

I have a $20 magnetic phone mount that’s attached to the wireless charging cover and it keeps my phone very secure (even at the track). Works pretty well with minimum investment and a fairly clean look.

VERY nice! It wasn't clear reading back through the thread - what app is this?

...and I'll take all of the Canadian cents you want to throw my way, man!

This is the ODBLink app (that’s its title… they’re very creative). It only works with OBDLink MX/CX adapters. I can’t give a lot of impressions on it yet but I’m looking forward to seeing what it can do once spring arrives.
It seemed to work well in my garage. It showed throttle position, coolant temp, voltage, etc. It also showed boost but I could only get it from -0.7 to -0.3 as I didn’t want to rev it too much in the garage. The G force displays use the phone’s accelerometer but most other information comes from the OBDLink itself.
