250horses Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Got my new boost gauge which fits lovely into the clock. Where should I tap in for vacuum? Some one suggested the progressive power steering pipe? Has any on got any ideas? Pics would be gratefully received....... Also someone said that there was a grommet behind the clock which goes into the engine bay.........I cant see it.........is this correct ??

merckx Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 http://img83.exs.cx/img83/8710/boost.jpg The tube marked in red goes to my boost gauge. The sensor with the green label on top(turbo pressure sensor), I pulled the tube from this and connected a couple of inches of new tube onto the sensor. Connect all 3 ends with a T piece. I fitted an electronic gauge , there's a wiring loom going through the left side of the bulk head next to the wing. I fed my wires through there and they came out nicely below the glovebox.
