I was told that you get the best reading from point closest to the inlet mani after the throttle ,so I tapped into the fuel pressure reg pipe.

Two ways

Get an EGR delete kit with a take off or

Tap into the pipe coming off the EGR pipe and down the side of the engine

Ignore the post above (apologies Screech) as thats what you do on the 1.8T's..........

Your pipe will be black (mine is blue as per pic)

That was a few years back  :laugh:

If you want a neater and leak free job I would get an EGR delete kit. Only problem is if your car isnt mapped you will get a warning light on the dash  :sad:
