Hey all,

After getting my boost gauge and pod all sorted out I pretty much have everything I need, after a bit more reading on the install I need a restrictor t piece or valve to stop the gauge vibrating or clicking on a tdi? I also need something for going into the boost pipe itself?

What are you guys using and any links to any equipment much appreciated

Thanks

I bought the t-piece that awesome-gti sell.

Plumbed that in and the noise stopped!

this one?

it says not for diesel tho? and what did you use for plumbing into the boost pipe itself?

thanks

That's interesting, I just bought a variable regulator valve. Same ones as you get from aquarium places, eBay also does them for pennies.

You could also do the same with a cable tie but I didn't have much success with that

Where does the 2nd output go for a t piece?

I just got a small silver inline restrictor valve from eBay, I think a t piece is for petrol boost gauge, I gonna need to get a tapered tap for the feed in the boost pipe then that should be it

I have the t-piece fitted to mine and made no difference lol

Do you have a link to the restrictor you bought? What gauge have you got? I was looking at getting one for a while but cant find a suitable gauge.

I got a glowshift gauge, come from America, bought on eBay. Bought it cause it looks nice and oem and has a choice of colours I'll have a look later as I'm on my phOne

Im guessing it vibrates on accel?? Mine did this and was annoying as hell and a t piece did nothing to help! Does the gauge needle "bounce" when at idle?? Mine did, so i sorted it with cable ties and pulling them as tight as i could get them with my fingers so not to crush the hosing. I put a tie on the vacuum hose 2 foot from the gauge and continued this in 2 inch increments till the gauge stopped bouncing. Then put a tie 2 foot from the connection on the boost pipe and this will sort it. Has on mine anyway.

I got an autogauge boost gauge and it came with a T piece, I used my own connector to tap into the boost pipe itself then had to use the T piece restrictor as the gauge was getting too much pressure.

Mine was vibrating like crazy with a VDO boost gauge, I went to my local aqautics shop and bought a little t piece regulator for about £2 and it worked a treat. Been installed for 2 years and not had one bit of bother with it.

Edit: Gauge tube is fitted to a boost nipple on the EGR delete pipe.
