guys i am busy installing a boostgauge on my rs6.
but struggling to find a boost pipe where i can connect the t-piece for the gauge?
anyone has done this before?

What is the point of a boost gauge? *wraps arms over head and runs for cover*

I used one of the diverter valve pipes.

Zsivanny:
Best place to tap into is the line to the fuel pressure regulator. located below the air filter box. Remove the box, the regulator is located on the top left. Remove the short hose install Tee and your good to go. Do not tap into the diverter valve lines. They use some kind of an independent vacuum system. Hope this helps.

hey vintron. thanks for the picture. i have tried that pipe but i got no boost?
maybe i was going something wrong? so i tapped into the dv pipe.....
but i only get boost on 1 side now?
is your gauge working fine? how much is your car boosting?
also what should a stock and a chipped rs6 boost?

thanks again

Hi Zsivany:
There definitely should be no issues in tapping into the Fuel Pressure regulator vacuum line. There really isn't much margin for error there. So I would try it again and check your connections carefully. Stock max boost pressure I believe is around .8 bar (11.6 psi). I am running a MTM remap, which seems to max out at about 1.2 bar (18 psi). I am using a VDO mechanical boost-vacuum gauge. It works fine for me. I could not find any place to mount it, so I attached it to the drivers side A pillar. Not the best looking, but its functional. Hope this helps.

Is there not an add on for the DIS advertised somewherenwhich let's you show boost in the DIS or on the RNS-E screen?

If so it would make a much more subtle mod IMHO...

thanks guys for all the info. gonna try to connect to the fpr pipe and let u know!
