Question

Anybody suggest where I can buy a T fitting to link a boost gauge into the Dump valve line on an MY01? The dump valve line is 1/4" id, and the line to the gauge is 1/8" id.

TIA

Duncan

duncan,
use one of the other lines from the inlet manifold- there's one to the left that goes to a round thing (the name of it escapes me) that's the right gauge- if you get a t-piece- to fit the 1/8". the t from a dawes package fits it perfectly!
hope this helps,
simon
