Boost gauge take off

Post by touchwoodsden »

If I fit a Turbo Boost gauge should I put a small Tee into the main induction pipe feed from turbo to plenum or would it be sufficient to Tee into this rubber pipe which goes from the turbine housing to the wastegate actuator?

It’s easier to go into this tubing but I do have a 1/8 bsp tail which I could easily put into the metal tubing of the induction piping.
Thoughts?

Inlet plenum. The closer to the inlet valves, the more accurate the reading will be. It should be simple to find a hose fitting with a threaded end, then drill and thread the plenum to install.

Try to mount the gauge where it is in your line of sight when riding. Gauges can be a terrible distraction. Having to look away from the road to view them...
