I am talking about the long hose shown in the picture. http://www.kandn.com/instructions/57-0641.pdf see here for the instructions, I followed them exactly. (in reply to Roto) Post #: 11

I was installing a Boost Gauge and noticed one of the vaccuum lines had a slice in it. I fixed it and I will see what happens once I re-install the intake. about the boost gauge, I tapped into the vac line coming from the boost controller that runs to the turbo housing, I am reading 8-10lbs of boost but it does not register and VAC. Any ideas?? (in reply to Roto) Post #: 13

RE: 2005 Saab 9-3 Linear - 8/8/2008 5:25:31 AM    dbaker4572   Posts: 9 Joined: 6/29/2008 Status: offline I spoke to a guy that has had 7 Saabs. He stated that the Engine light was coming on due to the increase of air flowing to the turbo. The boost controller was confused thinking that the turbo was overboosting and would shut down. He also said that I would have to get the car re-programed in order to compensate for this. Do you think a manual boost controller would work without re-programming?? He also helped me with the boost gauge. We tapped into a vac line coming off the manifold instead of the turbo itself. It works great now. (in reply to dbaker4572) Post #: 14
