Forgot to ask but the turbo pressure gauge arrived yesterday. Any idea where the best place is to connect into the vac hoses?
Cheers mate, I'm new to all this diesel/turbo stuff so still trying to get my head around it all.Thee must be somewhere you can pick up from, ill be under my bonnet later, ill have a look
I thought you were still playing with yours.Sounds like good progress! I have to listen on with jealousy as others get to play with their Fls.
:/
Nope, one of these.I'm new to turbos too so may be wrong but could you use one of these

Where later td4's have their (?) sensor on the intercooler pipe work before the egr?
Sorry mate, I missread your post, didn't look properly at the link you posted and thought you were asking what I used. Oops!Yeah I've seen that, but I linked a joiner with a boost take off not an egr. On later td4's there's a joiner pipe with boost sensor to the left of the dipstick after the intercooler, that's what I was suggesting replicating.
Of course if you want to re-enable the crimped vac connection on your egr then that's different.

Mine is an 02 so don't think I have the joiner pipe you mentioned and don't think I can reopen the pipe I crimped so I appreciate your suggestion, it would save me over twenty quid.

In the garage.
Would that be cruising around in a fancy boat in warm climes? It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it.Unfortunately I have to go back to the real world and earn the money for a month so a bit far from the hippo right now, although the missus is itching to drive it but the clutch hydraulics need sorting first and the head gasket.
I just ordered one of these so hopefully will have the turbo boost gauge up and running next week. I'll just cut the intercooler hose and stick this inbetween. I'm buying this gauge as I intend to try and increase the power sometime soon so want to have a benchmarkYeah I've seen that, but I linked a joiner with a boost take off not an egr.

I've already ordered the parts so will go with the vac gauge and see how it goes.Ali, you can take the boost from the MAP sensor feed with a simple tee.
Also, if needed, I have a small OLED display boost gauge project that fits in the original clock housing - also shows clock, date, day . year - boost analogue gauge or boost digital gauge. - this one (the project one - simply taps into the DC output of the MAP.
A normal type pressure / vac gauge can simply go in the MAP sense hose.
If you want details of the digital unit (with clock / date / time / analogue and digital) boost gauge then let me know. ?
I can do a write up.
It will fit in the display part of the original centre dash clock.
