Had to make a take off point for my boost gauge so I used a windscreeen washer jet and put it in the core plug at the back of the inlet manifold:)

does it work ok then ?

if so how much boost does the gauge show ?

Only ask as I can now feel and hear my turbo working after I gave the engine a good caining when some #### was behind me beeping to go faster...
I did, but left him in my plumes of smoke as the boost cleared out the pipes and intercooler nicely..

I only just potter about normally...

I'll let you know when the body goes on, not quite ready to test boost yet :)

If you look there are tapped holes ready to fasten in a banjo connection 3 I believe off the top of my head without looking might be a better option if your plug leaks.

None on mine thats why I went for that option, some have a hole with a bolt in it half way along facing the engine but mine is blank
