Alright folks.

I'm just about to fit a boost gauge this morning (octy RS)and was just wondering were best to fit the pipe from the engine.

At the moment i am 99% sure that i'm going to take it from the vacuum pipe on top of the dump valve as mine is right between the intercooler and the throttle butterfly. This should be were the strongest vacuum is, i hope :confused:

Any ideas?

Cheers

Si

mine is t pieced into the vacuum pipe to the fuel pressure regulator and works fine

Call me stupid, but is that not going to give a fuel pressure reading? or is it the reading the same as the boost pressure? :confused: :confused:

no its fine,it was the suggested pick up point when i did a search for info when i fitted mine

is there a picture posted in any thread on here? I've been looking but could'nt find one. Not the best with computers

I think Jon (TaviaRS) posted details of where and how he fitted his back in the days before he became a taxi driver.

i cant remember if it was on here or another site,have you done an advanced search for boost gauge cos im sure i found something on here or in reply someone put a link to a diagram,check it out
