Hi there
I am new to the forum. I have done a search but did not find much about this.
I would like to install a boost gauge on my 2004 TD4 but did not find much information.

What would be a good mounting spot for a boost gauge and are there any gauge pods or other mounting options available for this task?

Thanks for any advise.

Dashboard is a good start.

Have a search for Winu, his freelander has some good looking gauges

Thanks for the suggestion Mike.
Sofar I found this:




Probably using the VDO 240-101 gauge mount:

Where does the hose connect to under the bonnet?
Also is there any particular range the boost gauge must cover to be accurate?

To the MAP sensor pipe in l-series. In TD4 can be connected to the wastegate pressure pipe on turbocharger.

Peak is 17 PSI, standard boost for L-series is 15 PSI, so 15 gauge is enough for standard ones. If using ronbox and change boost pressure should be 30 PSI. (peak will be 22 , standard 19 PSI)

Thanks for that.
I'm using the Synergy 2a so will go for a 30psi gauge.

Will try to find the turbo charger & waste gate!

Thanks for the info Winu. I will be going with the Ronbox so I will get the 30 PSI gauge.
