Adam Kindness Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 just been looking on mkiv... looking at most posts to do with boost pressure etc.. noticed on one page...'fitting boost gauge' that the pipe to the gauge is plummed in here.... is this normal, or is mine wrong? from mkiv i have mine plummed in beside my BOV ?? as it said in the instructions! Will boost pressure be the same at both points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I've put mine futher back, but could well be into the same pipe. http://www.cargills.demon.co.uk/supra/images/BoostGaugeT.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Can`t see a problem with either installs, I would have thought anywhere that gives you manifold pressure would be ok. Close to the manifold is better as you will see what the engine is actually getting. I have heard of people plumbing gauges into pipes just after the turbo and before the intercooler etc, not good as you won`t see the losses through the system. Hope this helps, if it is complete twaddle then ignore it Regards Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
