FR PD130 Boost

[Timm]

Hi Guys

I've just put a boost gauge in the car and not too sure if i've done it correctly... from the standard BOV i've attached the T-Peice then so on ... is this the right place to fit it??

The main reason for checking is because the gauge is showing vacum but no matter how i drive the car the needle never goes over 0...

... Anyone got advice?


Cheers

Boost gauges should be reading the INLET manifold pressure. If you have tapped in to the BOV then you will only be reading the escaping air pressure.

You need to find a point in the inlet manifold or intercooler to inlet manifold pipework to tap in to.

the needle should never read vacuum....you need to drill a hole in the IC pipe so as to read boost.

Cheers for that, i only put it there from reading a gauge thread from here somewhere.

anyone got any pics or diagrams from theirs or when they put theirs in??

cheers
