Boost gauge - BoldieRob - 28-12-2016

RE: Boost gauge - Magenta Sunset - 28-12-2016
most persons ten to tap into the inlet elbow. (must finish fitting mine)

mmhmm, tapped boost elbow, be carefuyl where you tap it though, as the outtake might get in the way of easily undoing nuts etc.

Cheers I'll have a look into doing that ??

Best bet is to use a drill bit with lard on it or something to keep the swarf from going into the inlet. I've always used kits where you drill a hole and then put the take off through the hole from the inside of the manifold. It takes forever and you risk dropping it into the turbo. Many people use a brake nipple as the take off.

I take the inlet elbows off takes about 10 mins. Clamp in a vice drill a small hole then use one of these the size you want. No need to tapp the hole as they self tap into ally and the thread is tapered so they self seal as well. All in all 30 min job if youve done it before. If its your first time id say an hour. This way you dont rish anything dropping in. Or drilling a hole on the huh.
