turbo gauge fitting.

[BROWN_OWL]

hi ive fiited a turbo guage but i am now unsure that ive fitted it corredtly. hopefully the picture has been attached for anyone to point out i'm a muppet or the fact its a diesel and boost works different.
atm at idle i have -20psi!?! but when i do a boost run i get 0!!! HELP!!

That is the Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve actuator vacuum feed, not boost!

[BROWN_OWL]

o crap!!!!!! that would explain a lot then.Where is the tube i need then???

[Crasher]

There is no factory take off point for a 3-mm hose fitting. That is not ideal hose you are using either, it will collapse when hot.

[BROWN_OWL]

it wa sthe hose that was supplied with the gauge kit.is there any way of fitting the gauge? maybe the fuel pressure regulator feed?

[Crasher]

What fuel pressure regulator feed, it's a PD TDI! You will have to put a fitting into the air boot or plastic pipe.

[BROWN_OWL]

air boot??? is there anmy way you can point to that in the engine picture?

[Crasher]

The rubber bit connected to the metal bit! Anyway, you would need to make an adapter and that just isn't practical. I am surprised no one makes an adapter kit. Maybe you will have to drill and tap into the manifold and fit a screw in connector. You could do this behind the EGR valve without removing the manifold if you stuffed a cloth in the manifold and vacuumed out the debris after.

sound slike a possibilty to try and do. i have a picture to help identify the plastic bit with the metel bit. which arrow is correct?
