How to plumb in a Boost Gauge ?

[Olly_K]

Right, bought a boost gauge today to see much much my littlel k03's are being killed !

I just need to know which pipe in the engine bay to splice into ?

can anyone take a quick picture for me ?

that would be great !

I had a quick search of the web, and the best I could find is http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/pdf/Cen ... e_A4S4.pdf

Figures 9 and 10 give you a good idea but are not entirely clear. Page 20 of the self study guide http://www.audisport-iberica.com/ftp_as ... iturbo.pdf is better.

Am looking to fit a boost gauge at the weekend as well as a air/fuel mix gauge and inlet charge temp gauge.

Should be able to pick up most of the wires from ECU.

Look at page 19 on the self study guide dippy posted the link for.
Put a T pieces in the vac hose to the Fuel Press regulator and tak it off there.

thanks for all your help guys, I've just finished "grafting" the gauge into my center vent with a demel. Perfect.
Now to plumb in on the weekend !

that boost gauge install guide is VERY usefull, installed today with no problems whatsoever !
now i can see when my turbo's are on boost !
15-20psi.........normal ? its been revo chipped

As Prawn said, I T'ed my vaccuum hose that sits behind the engine, going direct from the intake manifold to the fuel pressure regulator.
Neat job, and allows you to run the hose directly into the scuttle, down past the ecu and into the drivers side area.

yep, thats exactly what I did !
job's a goodun !

Not 100% sure about the REVO settings, but typically a stage 1 remap will give overboost of 1.3 to 1.4 bar (19-20psi) and settle to 1.0 to 1.1 bar (15-16psi).

that sounds spot on dippy
