Does P3 gauge do boost?

Looking at the P3 Gauge that goes in ac vent, question does anybody know if this gauge reads boost off the ODP port or do you have to run tubing also?

All of mine are capable of both.

No. You can't accurately read boost from the OBD2 with any gauge for these cars. You have to run a vacuum line from the 1/8" NPT port on a throttle body spacer from ZZP or BNR.

Correct. It will read what's reported on the ECU. Using a boost tap is always the best method.

I thought it was to easy. I am just looking to see what the boost is doing surprised Chevy doesn't have a boost gauge.

Since the ZL1 has one, maybe it can be coded into the cluster?
