Thanked 7 Times in 7 PostsBoost Gauge & lost pressure
Many thanks to irf for the instructions they were first class, the only things I would add is the entry through the bulk head has four small rubber teats protruding from both the bulkhead side and from under the dash, when cutting off the teats leaving a small tube they just go into a common larger tube which you then have to find the oposite entry by jigging about the corresponding outlet, I found the best method was to tape the gauge tubing to a piece of wire and pull it through, apart from that - spot on - This has opened up a tin of worms for me because the reading is 15psi at max boost from a Rica'd ecu that I removed from my previous s70 that Adam set at 17psi . I have checked for leeks but seems ok, thinking of changing the boost controller over from my old s70, any ideas anyone, cheers Sam.
