Boost gauge - XUD11, where to route pipe?!
Hi all,
As I've come from the world of Japanese cars which have more spare holes through the firewall than a swiss cheese, I've just stumped myself on where to route the pipe for the boost guage, I can't seem to see ANYWHERE I can thread it through! (ideally on the drivers side).
Any ideas?
Cheers,
James.

In the floor pan on the passengers side, just before the carpet ends you will find a very handsome gromet

Great idea! I'll pick some up on my way home, how much do you reckon I'll need? Or does it just come in a preset length?Bailes1992 wrote:Halfords do windscreen washer pipe, I just used thatCalamityJames wrote:I'm gonna need a bigger piece of pipe then!Bailes1992 wrote:In the floor pan on the passengers side, just before the carpet ends you will find a very handsome grometlol

I bought 5m of 3mm bore washer hose from my local factors to make a leak-off test rig, was less than £2 IIRC.
Anyway, don't faff about with grommets / hoses / gauges, just hook up your laptop to the ecu & Robert's your muvver's bruvver.
(just gotta stop it hurtling off the dash on roundabouts).

Haha, a problem though, the boost sensor got replaced with the return to the Bosch pump! Plus PP2000 is ~£90 and a boost gauge is a mere £15 + hosing!dogslife wrote:I bought 5m of 3mm bore washer hose from my local factors to make a leak-off test rig, was less than £2 IIRC.

True. See if you can resynch your keys with a boost gauge.....
