Hey guys, anyone fitted an adjustable boost controller and turbo guage? if so any advice, where is the best place to fit the boost guage on the car?( as in best place to connect in the engine bay side!) unsure where to tap into TBH.

Most people will hate me for saying this... but A'Pillar for the guage, tap it in to the vacumme hose for the BOV..

As for the boost controller, what type is it?

Typically you want to put it between the electronic actuator control valve and the actuator.

I made a home brewed pod to mound my voltmeter in the drivers R/H air vent, and finished the whole job in carbon film. Took about 3 hours to form out of P38 filler. Foxy was dead impressed when he saw it, so it must be good!
