good luck jo, lets us have a look once its in.

im going to have to ask the obvious though, what use would a boost gauge be?

wouldn;t you have been better off putitng something more useful in like something showing oil pressure?

I will be doing APR soon , but even on a std car its worthwhile to check all is ok.
The OE dump valves are notoriously bad for failure , so its a sense check.

When the performance drops off , I can see if my boost levels change , if so I know where Ill be looking first  :smiley:

besides it looks cool  :cool:

downside is , its an indication you have modded even when you have not.
although the connectors on Defi mean its would be 2 minutes to remove gauge for warranty work if you wanted to

forge DV should have a free connection you can take from.
If its already used for something you maye have to use the 3 way to splice into it
