Title: boost gauge
Post by: kennedyuk2001 on 17 February 2012, 10:06

I have my boost gauge I removed from the impreza, I would like to fit it to the golf, just curious what vacuum pipe I should hook into, or do I need to tap into the inlet manifold like I seen on a guide for fitting? Also were is easiest to hook into for power.
Regards

On a TDI you tap into the EGR to intercooler pipe

For power use the blue / grey wire behind the light switch as that will also allow you to dim the gauge with the dashboard lights

Afraid not as mine came off the port on my EGR delete pipe

I just fitted mine today, a small tap of the EGR delete I had. I have seen people removing the inlet manifold, drilling and tapping a hole then screwing in a suitable connector. Be careful as I think the inlet mani is quite soft!
