Have just bought an SPA dual boost/temp gauge for the scoob but didn't realise the boost sensor had to bolt into the inlet manifold and not just attach to the rubber pipe coming from it. Has anyone else fitted this type of boost sensor and how did they do it? The instructions say drill a hole in the inlet manifold but that to remove it first or swarf can enter the engine Don't fancy doing that really

Someone must be able to point me in the right direction?????

Sounds like a bit of a nightmare to me mate. I was going to buy one of these myself but thats just put me off!!

SORRY!!!

I've e-mailed 3 people that have mentioned this problem in the past so I hope I get some tips from them. I noticed on Chiarks site that the defi gauge sender is similar and has been mounted on the suspention turret with what looks like a small adaptor and hose going off to the inlet manifold rubber tube where it is tee-d off. There must be someone out there with them fitted!

on the defi boost i fitted i fixed the sender to my induction kit and the hose from the sender is teed into the middle pipe. there is no drilling at all
got any pics of the kit

Think I have sussed it out. There appears to be a small "plug" on the back on the inlet manifold that looks the same size as my sensor so should fit straight in

There is a small plug but I'll be damned if I can get it out
