Good evening all
Not trying to 'spam' here at all, just want a simple answer that all before my head is bite off haha!
Ive searched threw a few threads on newsouth boost gauge fitting, however none that are explained/pictured very clearly for a 'amateur modder' like my self. I'm all for learning how to maintain and also mod my ed30 but of course you need to be shown things to learn. I have thread many breads in installing mods and some of you may have seen in the newbies section hat I've brought quite a few nods now that with the info on this forum I am more than 100% confident in fitting these my self.
All I'm after is where the t piece is fitted too, what connectors etc go where?
If some one has a 'baby's guide' on installing a newsouth I'd appreciate your time post here greatly :happy2:
Or if you know of a very simple well pictured and explained guide
Feel free to help me if you live near Crawley/lingfield :signLOL:

I have read many threads * :signLOL: autocorrect at its best :congrats:

I used the APR tap and that way you don't need to cut any existing pipes to fit the t-piece. This just slots on and already has a ready made outlet that you connect your pipe to from the back of the boost gauge.

Use the thick hose they sent you, the one with the tap in it. Looks like this and attaches via the bottom of the breather hose of the PCV. looks like this......

Much as the APR one I use the Forge one which allows more than 1 tap due to my zorst powervalve hose. Also fits straight on. Pic with just one hose attached to it via the bottom tap...........

I tried to find a good image of where the t piece goes, could only find those breather hose connections.

Thanks for your time to help man, appreciated.
All you 'long term' guys on here are mega helpful, forums from previous cars I've had have been a ball ache most of the time.
This site is awesome :happy2:

I'll post a picture tomorrow

Anyone want to fit my boost gauge for cash this week :signLOL:
Bolt on mods, fine no problem what so ever could read something once and go crack it out but this is a recipe for disaster.
I've got 2 bags of assorted tubing clips connectors cableties bolts and a roles up length of additional tubing :rolleye:. Thought it would be a piece of cake but leaning towards getting someone to fit it :sad1:

It's easy! I managed it so you will be able to. Hardest part is getting the tube into the cabin. Long screwdriver and duct tape

Okay cool, without sounding like a child, could you post a pic tomorrow of where the t piece goes and what tubing I run off it into the cab? Also what is all the additional tubing plastic t piece and clips for? I've got a brass square block with a outlet. Where does this go?
I thought, I'd connect the t piece, cable tie a hose to it, run the same hose into the cab then into the back of the boost gauge. Connect the red wire In to the grey illumination wire in the light loom then tie hhey black wire down behind a metal bolt, insert gauge into column pod, secure column job done.
Sorry to sound 'stupid' never fitted a gauge in my life :signLOL:
Thanks for your patients

Sound like a plan. It might not be the "fitting a boost gauge plan" but it passes the time :grin:
Post a picture up of what bits you got with the pod. I'll tell you what I did. Mine worked fine but I'm not saying I'm the all knowing boost gauge guru.

Here's all of the consumables that come with awesomegti's newsouth/column bundle :happy2:
Hope you can rule out what is needed and what is not

^^^^ Brass bit attaches to the rear of the gauge. One of the 2 short silicone hoses attaches to that. Inside that fits the long/thin/main hose. Cable ties are to keep those bits together. Don't attract anything up until the long hose has been fed from the engine bay or the cabin though. The other short silicone hose attaches to the other end. I'd use the breather hose section, it has the tap in it to attach the silicone hose to.
Oh and the cocktail sticks are for little sausages and cheese/pineapple IIRC. :signLOL:

I did link you to my thread, in the other thread you had about boost gauges - which had enough pictures to get you going.. combined with the information you get with the NewSouth gauge should have been more than enough for you to do it? :sad1:
In short (because there is already a very good guide on VWVortex if you have a quick google for it)
You use the t-piece and replace the existing piece of vacuum hose with this. Put rubber tubing onto outlet. Put nylon plastic tubing in this and route it to the bonnet release catch. Feed it through the bonnet release catch (use a coathanger or other piece of wire and wrap it around) then route it up to behind your dashboard...you will need to take the fuse cover off and pop out the little tray near the headlight switch.. pop the plastic surround off at the bottom of the dash just above the steering wheel.. make a little nick for the nylon tubing to pass through.. feed the tubing through. Put boost gauge in pod. Put rubber on outlet on boost gauge and put other end of the nylon hose you just fed through into the car, into the boost gauge. Cable tie all your connections. Splice into the grey wire for the illumination.. you only need the rubber bits and the cable tie the brass things, the red things (for JDM styley mounting etc) don't need to be used at all.
There's really no recipe for disaster at all. It's very simple, the hardest thing as mentioned is routing the tubing into the cabin.. use the bonnet release cable route!! I can fit them in 30mins to 2 hrs depends on how much of a pain the routing to inside the car wants to be.
