    I recently purchased a 2002 supercharged sport edition 4x4 T4R, I am new to the supercharger and was just seeing if you can in fact hook up a boost gauge for it. I have gotten people saying they have but with what I thought is that you can only get psi reading from a turbocharger. Correct me if I'm wrong. But can you connect a psi boost gauge to a supercharger.

    You will want a vacuum/boost gauge. TRD makes one, or you can buy another brand. I have a TRD one with my charger.

    Okay cool, I've been looking into getting one but I didn't want to waste the money if it's not even compatible. Is there a write up anywhere for install?

    Tap into a vacuum hose, or port, somewhere after the throttle body. There should be plenty of choices on your year model.

    I have a tee in my boost port vacuum line for my boost gauge.
