[IMG][/IMG]none !!!!

next to your coil pack on inlet there will be 2 maybe 3 pipes next to my red cap

1 goes to your recultating dump valve you could tap into this ,but next to it is another blanked off pipe i used this

hope this helps

You can splice the pipe to the dump valve (on front of intercooler), dont mess with any of the other pipes though as they're fuel or brake related. Do you know the dump valve?

Yes you can go from the vacuum pipe on the dump valve or you can go of the manifold nipple! Which apparently is a more accurate reading! Don't quote me on that

Hope this helps!

Classics have a spare nipple, you've just got to remove the cap and fit the gauge!
On a newage you do the same as on the dump valve! By putting a T piece in on the hose coming of the manifold!
Iv just done mine today!

T into a vacuum pipe from the inlet manifold near the header tank for the most accurate reading,I'll take & post up a photo of mine in the morning for you.

Mine is Teed from the connection on the front of the manifold that bends through 90 degrees to point down and goes to the purge valve/solenoid. You can get odd readings from the one on the BOV.
