About to fit a boost gauge but have a question first...

 

I've  bypassed the n249 by fitting a T piece in the line from fpr to dump valve... 

 

The question,,, Is it ok to fit a second T piece for the boost gauge into this line or is 2 lines to much? If u get what I mean... 

 

Or is there another vac port/line I can use? 

Job done. Plumbed in works fine...

 

Even the dimmer function  which is handy 

 

Reads -20 at idle.. boost up to 20 and tails off to around 14-16psi.. also in the process I found a vac line that was leaking so sorted that to

 

Happy happy

Good stuff mate

Good job buddy.

 

Maybe your luck has changed  

 

I took my boost gauge feed direct from a spare nipple on inlet manifold

 

Also fitted my gauge like stealth in my diy A pillar .

 

 

 

Is that mount custom mate? Looks very good

I want a pillar pod like that mate but fir  I have it on a stand sort of thingy on the dash with double sided number plate pads lol.. function over style for now.. having a boost gauge isn't about bragging rights to me. It's a handy way of knowing what's going on at the time ect :-) 

But the chavvy side of me (which is a small part lol), thinks it feels more like a turbo with a nice gauge in the cockpit lol

Yep buddy sure is, I did not like any of the screw on jobs and wanted to have a more blended in look

 

here is my full guide in techi section
