Boost gauge and boost controller fitting

Postby manwithav8 » Mon Jul 04, 2011 2:56 pm

Can anyone post pics of where and how they have plumbed up their boost gauges and boost controllers AND both if you have both.

I'm ready to fit my gauge and am planning on fitting a controller at a later stage. I'm looking to mount both on the wastegate actuator line but would like to see how others have done it if they are getting good results with their set up.

Many thanks.

I already have the boost gauge but this is the controller I am looking at. Will this do the job?

Primo for that thanks. Will look at the one you pointed to when I buy one.

Spent all morning driving around Palmerston North trying to find brass fittings and Tee peices so I can plumb the boost gauge into the wastegate actuator line but no luck.
The tubing kit came without a Tee peice so I am kind of stuck at the moment hence some pics would have been nice.

Anyone have any ideas??
