Title: Boost guage fitting on a PD130
Post by: tsr_adi on 03 June 2011, 08:40

I might be fitting a boost guage onto a mates Ibiza PD130, And I know it has to be T'eed into a vac pipe, but I've never worked on one, so where does it need tapping into? I assume they have a vac pipe to the ECU?

No.. Firstly the ECU is only electrical and does not create vacuum at all, is merely electrics.. Secondly fitting a boost gauge on a diesel is different to fitting one on a petrol, on a petrol as you did say correctly you connect it to a Vacuum line but on a diesel you have to connect it to a boost pipe.. I believe you can buy a threaded T-piece and tap into a boost pipe.. this will do the trick.. Hope this helps

Thanks Damon

As per Damon.

Tell your mate to buy this EGR Valve from Allard (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Allard-EGR-Valve-Delete-Pipe-Golf-Audi-Seat-Skoda-Tdi-/180677276489?_trksid=p4340.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DDLSL%252BSIC%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC%26otn%3D8%26pmod%3D170630173291%252B170630173291%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D490698349903428226#ht_1916wt_920), they have a take off to fit a boost gauge.

What year is the Ibiza?
