Where To Connect The Boost Gauge

[southern_tango]

Hi,call me idiot but ,is this the place to connect thr hose of the boost gauge in a s2 stagea?thanx

[chook]

that's fine, or use a T-piece on one of the hoses coming from the intake manifold on the other side, in order to keep it neat and as short as possible.

yeah that nipple is there for the factory boost gauge to plumb on to (RS four S) . mine is a ''s '' and o "T'd" my defi gauge sender . into it

Thaks for your answers... I will try to install it this weekend ,by the way where do you think is the best place to connect the ilum cables?

i had a harness adaptor on my stereo plug to power all the garbage (phones navigation reverse camea hands free kit blah blah blah) when i got my car so connected mine to that . but yeah considering how easy the stereo is to get out and there plenty of room and wire to easily connect to behind there .

Under the D/s guard there is a large loom going thru. I poked a hole with a screwdriver. Seal it up after as you can get water thru on a rainy day.

When the Stag is stationary you will only get vacuum, ie neg pressure. Drive it hard and u should get boost.

Yeah remove the splash guard from the drivers side wheel arch and their will be a pretty large gromet to poke a hole and route ur presure line through. Its where my pressure feed for my EBC goes. If you dont make the hole to large you wont even need to put anything on it to stop water getting in

Good luck.

oh true . learn something new everyday . the sender unit for my defi gauge had a good metre and a half of cable so i ran it through the large/main grommet behind/undes the abs pump . got the controller in the glove box. works pretty sweet
