Where can I put a boost gauge, pictures included!
« on: 08 March 2014, 12:37 »
This is for my Passat 1999 1.8 Turbo APU engine but almost identical to the AGU engine.

I am wanted to put a boost gauge in but don't know where to put the T piece......Any ideas?











Any help would be great  :smiley:

Thanks mate.....Will give that a go although the pipe to the dump valve is fairly big and the T piece is small, wondering how I can get past this?

i ment the small pipe coming off the top the DV, you got a pik? should be a case of snipping the line and putting in the T
