how do you fit a boost gauge?
where did you connect it on the engine?
where did you get it from?

Just need to take the pipe that goes into the boost gauge sender (or boost gauge itself) and on the mechanical type turbo diesels you can just put a t piece in the pipe that goes to the on boost fueling ajustmen on the fuel pump, looks like a lil space saucer.

On a petrol or the 2.1td you have to make a hole in the side of the inlet manifold or the solid part of the boost pipework to connect the pipe to.
