    My Monte Carlo isn't a turbo'd car, but my CSC set-up is basically just like a belt driven turbo.

    What would be the best line to run my boost gauge? Every time I search for it online, I keep finding threads for the L67 and using the BBV which I do not have.

    It's a Paxton Novi 1000. Works just like a Procharger.

    Should I create a thread on my cars? haha, I was hoping for a quick response on what vacuum to tap

    Novi 1000 shouldnt even need a tune on a supercharged PCM with stock maf/injectors. If its NA you just need to put the bigger injectors in and change it to whatever.

    anything on the intake manifold will give you what your boost gauge wants.

    OK, I'll just grab whatever line is easiest. I wasn't sure if there was a specific one that would be best or not.

    I also thought the tune would be a piece of cake, but no matter what I do, I can't go WOT without misfiring. Grabbing the L67 Tune and making the changes to my tune had the car running decent, but my fuel trims were -20s. After scaling the MAF and getting my LTFTs in check, I still can't 100% my TPS without a classic little misfire in the upper RPM band. I'm also not getting the timing advance that I want to get for power. The car should be much quicker than it is and it's so frustrating haha

    If you have HPTuners, and want to shoot me a PM, I'd gladly send a file your way.

    Follow the brake booster to the UIM, there's a vacuum port on it.

    I see a stock maf, you should have a stock maf table.
