    Looks very snazzy lol!

    The reaction times are a bit slow for an LED unit - may be cured by a shorter vac hose, mounted closer to the engine.

    yeah... i think its due to the diameter of the vac hose being a little too large (& too long), i had to buy one long enough & the only place at the precise moment that had it was B&Q... & it was for a pond..lol

    still it does what i need it to & if the results i get stay consistent i can certainly use it to monitor boost changes from the coming ECU map & actuator arm adjustments.... so im a happy bunny!!

    Pretty much the same way did mine, I've left the loom tied up awaiting a suitable electrical source.

    I made a small hole in the top of the dash for the boost pipe as it's silicon and squashed flat trying to run it up the side, but it's nice and neat.

    Where did you find electrical source from?

    I think a 4 year old could have done tidier wiring than that, if you're going to post up a 'how to' at least you could do a proper job.

    Oh, you can bet there'd be 50 pages of harsh comments in bold writing and in lots of pretty colours, plus numerous 'edits' by the forum management.

    But it's ok, someone else has gone down the 'non-standard' route, so that's ok because they know what they're doing.........
