Where to attach a vacuum gauge?

Hi!

I've been quietly reading through the forum (ok, lurking) and have decided to join up as I need to ask a question and have not seen the answer anywhere yet.

I own a 2012 Jimny (actually a Dec 2011 model, delivered CBU from Japan), and would like to get more than my current 21-23 mpg fuel consumption (city driving). To this end I bought a Veglia Borletti Vacuum Gauge. But when I looke under the hood at the carburator and air intake fittings, I couldn't determine where to install the gauge's hose.

Has anyone installed a vacuum gauge and can point out where exactly I should do this? I'm not mechanically inclined, so a picture with an explanation would certainly go a long way.

Thank you in advance!

I thought I, reply as no one else has, I don't think this is a common mod inthe UK, I've never heard of it. Hopefully someone else has.

Unless the 2011 is radically different to early models, there should be a rubber pipe about 8mm diameter that goes from the inlet manifold to the vacuum solenoids under the battery that operate the hubs. Tee into this pipe.

Thanks! Will have a look over the weekend and see if it's something I can DIY.

this is what most people put on turbo cars boost/vacuum gauge as long as it goes after the throttle butterfly it will be ok failing that read the instructions

Here is where I mean, on my X reg, the blue thing is a one way valve, so the gauge must go into the pipe that connects to the spigot on the manifold.
