Boost gauge fitting?
#7
Drilling is so much easier, if your not confident doing it just pop the elbow off and take it to a friend that is. Two minute job.

I used a brake bleed nipple from ebay. Dirty cheap standard m6 thread and next day delivery. Something a little longer would be better but uts enough to clamp on so its find. Plus its right at the top of the engine bay so access is easy.

1. Remove all bolts holing inlet elbow.

2. Remove elbow.

3. Drill correct size hole. 5.2mm for M6 iirc.

4. Tap thread using a die, its very soft metal.

5. Clean any swarf or shards

6. Screw in bleed nipple, id suggest a little lock tight and dont over tighten it. Remember how soft the metal is.

7. Refit elbow

8. Attach pipe leading to boost gauge.
