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.

Spoke to Jamie at JWR and I've missed the Y Piece out - but I've no instructions...

Any clue to how to fit ?

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....
