Question

Where's a good place to take the boost level from for a mech. gauge ?

I've included this piccy, as there appears to be a stopper of some kind on a possible candidate ...

Or should I use the T-Piece (Where into &gt

Cheers,

Mark

You're spot on there, pull off that blanking tube and fit the pipe to the boost gauge to the nipple underneath.

Question

Its an AVO gauge - Take a look at my thread above, sounds like the buzzing is correct, when no restrictor is fitted.

Any ideas to the position of this would be most welcome....
