Well! had a hectic few days trying to get the car running while all the bloody shops are closed!

Anyway, thanks to smithy and shrek iv manged it!

yeah got the 180 blacksmoke map, need to get it on a rolling road to see what its running!

180 ;0 not messing around then haha bet the difference is unreal

aye man the differance is insane!

A REAL DIY INSTALL!

TDI boost guage install, took the interocooler pipework of to tap into the top hose near the EGR delete, to get the take off barb in we had to go all diy up in here!

Drilled a hole in the hose, threaded string thru it, threaded the take off bard onto the string then tied a nut on the end, then just pull the string back thru the hole:



If anyone has put a boost guage in a TDI they will know they buzz like a bitch and rattle everywhere! You need to slow the flow down to cure this! read on the internet that an inline fuel filter would do it, that didnt work, so me and ryan got all diy up in here, cutting the head off a wood screw and making a notch in the top so it can still be turned with a screwdriver! put that inside the silicone pipe and it slows the flow! one worked well, so we put another in and it stopped 90% of the buzzing.

then we moved on to modify the cubby hole to fit the gauge........in doing this i droped the gauge and smashed it! what a bellend! so iv orderd another one! lol! hopefully i wont smash this one!

When the gauge was running, it was spiking at 2 bar and holding around 1.7!

nice one mate, good work, gutted to here about the gauge though lol

Cheers man!

Gutted bout the gauge! its the one i bought off ya too!

dddaaaaammmmmmnnnnnn!!!

i know! but iv ordered one exactly the same as i like the design!

Finaly finished the boost guage install! PICS:

The 'Buzz' fix

Screw chopped and notched

Wind it all the way inside the boost pipe


Decided to install a switch so i can turn it off at night on long jorneys:

On and off:
