I was trying to find the manual water pressure line from under the cowl and this does not seem to have a pigtail /air water line with a quick connect . I did some searching and only found a 1/4 inch bung needs removed from exhaust divider or splice a line . What is the usual install method . Or am I supposed to have an electric and the ecu sends a signal to that . This is a ROS box if that helps . Thanks I'm surprised a system has not already been installed to read the pressure . And if I need to plump off the exhaust - is it just a 90 and go to what size air line and quick connect . 1/8 " ? Push connector ? What' the usual

Thanks Vnemous - 1/8 inch pipe thread ? Is there a kit with an elbow and pigtail ? Or is this just buy an elbow with push on and make a pigtail as I have found on most Merc. Or do you just grab an elbow push on and go straight to the dash with the line. .

They have a fitting that you just push the hose into. Its the same for both ends but male on motor and female on gauge. This kit will give you the idea. The three chrome fittings are what im talking about. Just installed one today.
