boost gauge

[NERF 69]

Ive just bought a boost gauge has anyone fitted one to there car ifso can you give me an advice on fitting?

put mine in the drivers air vent . ran black wire to body for earth ,yellow to empty slot in the fuse board so it works with the ignition ,then ran the boost pipe through the bulkhead and plummed into the fuel pressure regulator with a t piece that should do it

Some top advice on here today 

Diesels dont have what you have on your sh!tty petrol engines

Most tap into the EGR to intercooler pipe

Heres where I had mine fitted

I had an EGR delete pipe which had the take off for a boost gauge fitted to it

Excuse my ignorance like i say im still learning. Why put it into the fuel pressure regulator pipe?
