Boost gauge fitting?

[Slam Wagon]

If you really want to do it that way, i would imagine the easiest way would be to jack the car, support it on stands and disconnect the fork from the lower engine mount, move the engine forward slightly and go in from underneath, you should be able to then get access to it, it is a blue pipe about 10cm long, thats the one you need to t into.

I wouldnt tee into it. I would replace it.

1. Go buy some 3mm vacuum pipe, 2m should be fine. A t piece, a manual boost controller, suitable clamps, a stanley knife and some plasters.

2. As in the first paragraph, give yourself as much access as you can.

3. Remove old pipe.

4. Loosen the connector on the turbo and turn it to point towards your bonnet. Then tighten it back up.

5. Feed the new length of pipe down from the top of the egine.

6. Connect it onto the turbo end with a securing clamp (jubilee clamp or similar)

7. Working from the top select where your mbc is going to be secure. And cut the pipe with a bit of excess.

8. Clamp pipe to the input side of the MBC. And the "offcut" of pipe onto the exit side of the MBC. This will be your return to complete the loop, the other end joins to where the blue pipe connected originally.

9. On the input side of you MBC cut the pipe an fit t piece this will be the feed for you boost gauge.

10. Feed "offcut" pipe down to the connector and clamp it up from underneath.

11. Ensure all conections are tight. Refit engine to correct position.

12. Connect feed from boost gauge to t piece.

13. Adjust boost controller to the lowest boost setting. Slowly open it up until your gauge is reading standard boost levels est. 14psi/1bar

Ive never done it but i think thats how it should be done. Anyone have any corrections?
