As the title says, where have MY01 peeps connected their boost gauge to the inlet manifold?
I have looked for any blanks but cannot find any, the place where I was going to do it is a pain in the butt as the pipes are quite tight for space.
Any help / comments appreciated.
Cheers

I know mine was fitted to an existing small rubber pipe. The pipe had to be cut and tee'd into. I will have a look and trace it for you. Can't take picture though, but it looks quite simple

As you look at the engine from the front, there is a small diameter rubber hose that comes off the inlet manifold. I tee-ed into that. If no one else posts a picture, I will take one for you in the light tomorrow.

The hose I tapped into is ringed. Note, this pic was taken before the tapping was taken. It also shows where the oil pressure switch is incase you want to install an oil pressure gauge (the alternator has been moved).
