Haynes says aprox. 1 bar @ 3000 rpm.

1 bar = 14.7 PSI.

How did you hook up the boost gauge?

Please can you post some pictures engine side?

Indeed, and did you run the line through the bulkhead grommet to the passenger footwell?

I just thought if yours is a 2.1 it will be different to my 2.0 HDI mate, have you got a hose coming off your inlet manifold going to your turbo or to your intercoller if you have one???

I've got the 2.1 mate and there are a few big fat intercooler hoses which I can connect into, but I'd rather connect to a smaller diameter pipe if possible. There's a little pipe on the back of mine with a T piece which has one bit blocked off so I'm going to try it on there first. If it works, bonus, if not I'll just get an adaptor and attach to the intercooler pipe.
