Scott Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Ok Niz, what we are saying is that a boost gauge IS very easy to fit. However, if you cannot do it yourself with the step by step instructions that have been posted then its better to take it into a garage to let them sort out. I doubt they would charge you much more than an hours labour. Probably £50-£80, i certainly wouldn't be paying any more for it. If you cannot do it following the instructions and you are not willing to try simply pay someone to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nizam Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Ok mate but i need easy guide. i got very same like defi gauges. have you got defi gauges guide mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 No but the idea is the same. With the defi you have a control unit, instead of going directly to the gauge from the actuator hose you go to the control unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I read all this as: "I don't know how to do this but want to learn. Even though you've all been very helpful and have posted links to exactly how it's done I can't be bothered to get my hands dirty and would rather watch someone else do it. But I don't want to pay for it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zofix Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm going to install mine today, do somebody have a real photo of the vacuum line where I need to place the "T"? I'm not completely sure.. Its pretty hard to locate it when you look at the drawling on page 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm going to install mine today, do somebody have a real photo of the vacuum line where I need to place the "T"? I'm not completely sure.. Its pretty hard to locate it when you look at the drawling on page 2. Here you go... (ignore the arrows etc...) On the picture near the intake manifold there is a piece of blue silicone hose with a white T-piece on it. That is the "T," and then obviously run your boost gauge vacuum line into this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 There's a couple of pics here might help: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=960887&postcount=35 Mine's a VVTi though so may differ. Edit: Yep, same place as Miko posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
