Has any body got a boost gauge fitted to a fabia vrs?

If so, where did they get it and how did they fit it etc?

Chers, Joe

Just Bumping this as i'd quite like a boost gauge for mine.

I think Jason has one now but could someone tell me which type I need and how to fit it

Cheers

Steve

I have a boost gauge(that I bought off Jason). Think he got it from Allards, not sure, goes up to 3 BAR.

You have two options: either tap into the intake manifold (preferably removing it from the car first, unlike you're a God of mechanics like Stu) or fit an Allard's racepipe which has a boost gauge nipple already present.

Was working today on swapping out the OEM turbo. I've already removed the intake manifold this pm, and am going to drill/tap a brass fitting into the top, where there is a handy flat spot.

Any chance you could take pics as you do it?

I'm pretty handy in the garage and my dads an ex rally mechanic so he's pretty good too

Since the EGR is really gummed up - think that I might go the way of the Allard racepipe tbh.. The intake manifold is out and filthy too...

for a pic see my post on http://www.briskoda.net/forums/maintenance-performance/de-coking-tdi-engine/89753/#post1030391

Thanks

I have a manual racetech gauge. It's tapped off the aforementioned allard racepipe, and is wired in for the backlighting. It's sat in a triple gauge pod, along with some other useful instruments - atop my dash.
