boost gauge???

[snakie]

got boost gauge for 2.1td 406, anyone no were to plum the pipe into handy..

No, but if you find out stick a pic up as I've got a boost guage in mine (also 2.1TD) and just need to plumb it in, I just haven't been able to figure out where yet though.

On the fuel pump you will have a boost compensator. You will have a 8mm fuel hose going from the intercooler pipework to the fuel pump. Stick a T-Piece in here and take boost off there. Thats what I've done on my 406.

Ignore the tube across the dash, thats behind now
I'l try get a picture later

Bailes thanks for the reply, looked at my pump couldnt see any 8mm piping.. is yours a 1.9td maybe 2.1's are different

Makes no difference. You have a big pipe that comes down the middle of the engine, then you have a 90degree bend going down. Right on the 90 degree bend theres a pipe comming of it that goes to the fuel pump!

Anyone know about fitting a boost gauge to the HDi 90? As I don't have an intercooler am I snookered here?

[Doggy]

Well, you could always fit an intercooler too....

Have a look on the 306 forum, I'm willing to bet there's a few HDi 90's on there wiv a boost gauge.

You have to drill and tap the inlet manifold and fit the silver thing on here...

If you go with what I've done and fit it to the vent, make sure you keep the flap behind the vent. Theres nothign worse than a face full of air at 70mph that you can't switch off
