boost gauge

[jcbjames]

Hi all, just a quick question, where do u take a feed from for a boost gauge? is it just off the manifold? also has anyone bypassed ther N249? dv straight to manifold??? car is a 54 plate 1.8t 190.

cheers james.

Small black pipe pushed onto a nipple on manifold. Take the black engine cover off and you'll see it, think it's in bottom right corner...

yeah was thinking there but just cant get my head round it, that pipe goes to the N249, which the goes to the DV valve then i guess the N75 which goes to the wastgate. so would of thought it would need to be teed into the pipe between the N75 and the wastgate??

That's where it goes mate, just stick a tee in it and run your pipe to the gauge, you could always check it's gonna work with some spare lengths before...
