Fitting mechanical boost gauge.
« on: Yesterday at 10:28:02 pm »
Looking to fit a mechanical boost gauge,
Has anyone fitted one & is there a specific place on the manifold to take a feed from?

Need a boost tap from GFB that fits on the manifold where the PCV upper hose goes onto the manifold.

Not cheap, but TFSI do not have any vac take offs.

That was mine in my old Edition 30 (Newsouth gauge) the vent mount was from eBay.

Don't have any pics of the boost tap fitted but it's self explanatory when it's in front of you.

I removed battery and put the hose through the bulkhead grommet thats visible.

Wired up the illuination onto an ignition live on the inside fusebox on the end of the dash.
