HELP im stuck. boost gauge

[joesgti]

Anybody know how to fit the osir boost pod?? also the defi blue gauge?? i have the parts but dont understand the instructions, i have a forge dv so should i run it from this? if anybody has a walkthrough with pics on how to fit it to a golf gti this would be fantastic 

[SteveS]

[joesgti]

in the air vent on the drivers side, its the osir one.

i have taken the vent out as it just pops out but how do i wire somthing up to the fuse box? also how do i then get to the engine from here??

....I'm fairly sure that it connects from the spare branch on the Forge DV - Have a word with Forge, they are usually very helpful: 01452 380 999

what other gauges are available.

the one that fits into the vent looks a bit naff.. id prefer the one that comes outta the dash looks well kool.

pod just pushes in but thats the last thing you do.

1. Plumb pipe you have from dump valve nipple to boost sensor from defi kit.
    (I put the sensor hanging from the screw holding the air intake on)
    Ensure they are zip tied as they are under boost!

2. Now feed the cable that connects boost sensor to guage from inside engine bay into cabin through grommet down near battery
    You do it this way as the connector at guage end is much smaller than sensor end.
    Be careful you dont break/yank out the connector wires!

3. Feed wires from grommet through dash into vent by any means possible

(Hint : I used wire coathanger + taped wire to that to feed wires throgh various bits)


4. Fit guage electrical connections
   Take panel off right hand side (bit hidden by door being closed) of dash.
    Voila the fuse box
     One of the top connections should be free but still powered with ign on (use multimeter)
I chose to connect all live,switched live and ilum wires together then use a spare fuse to hold the wire into the connection.
The only other wire left is ground (strip wire back and undo a bolt , wrap it round + tighten)

5. Attach adapter ring to guage (its a specific way round)
    fit guage to pod
    attach 2 connectors (1 for sensor , 1 for power) to guage

6. stand back + admire.
   Check for boost leaks

any more just pm me
