Obtain cheap ass mech boost guage for 20 quid,

connect T piece to BOV,

run crappy clear hose out top of bonnet into slightly open drivers window,

connect hose to boost gauge then place carefully on dash.

Wallahh your done. :D

 

not recommended in if it's raining LOL.

 

Just been testing the car since I've been thinking its dropped in power but 0.7bar on No 1 then 0.9bar with No 2. Running a 3" centre decat so I guess i've just been getting used to the power. Well happy anyway that nothing seems wrong.:)

yeah i just had to do this but it was raining... found you can thread it under the front right wing near the window, there is a little rubber rain deflector thing and behind the front wing/door gap and over door seal, it comes out by the door window buttons and the dash where i used the tube to hold the gauge in place :D worked a treat and helped me diagnose (sp?) my missfiring on 2nd turbo problem i am off to post about :( propper bodjit job:d

LOL, i certainly had a few looks from cars passing but it worked a treat and put my mind at rest for now.:)

 

Missfiring on No2 can a few things like worn spark plugs, dodgy coil pack clips or even broken/dodgy coil packs. I'd check the plugs first though.
