chook Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 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.

lachlanw Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 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.

kidafa Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 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.
