Boost gauge advice
just got my a pillar trims back from r and b motorsport, all modified and ready to accept my 60mm apexi gauge.
cheers mike
they look wicked
just a quick question, when it comes to fitting, wheres the easiest place to take the light feed from (illumination) closest to the a-pillar.
Also where is the best place to t-off for the bosst hose? on the ecu hose, FPR hose etc?
cheers guys

You need to tee into the vacuum take off that feeds the dump valve. This is usually the one to the left of the brown ACT sensor in the middle of the plenum. Do not use the fuel pressure or the MAP sensor ones, as you don't want to run the risk of anything going wrong with these (by creating three additional areas it can leak from).
Glad you're happy, invoice will follow shortly, as I'm a few days behind at the moment

There is sidelight (grey/yellow or grey) and earth (brown) on the back of any of the 4 switches to the right of the instrument cluster.
