Where have you got it plumbed into? Best place is the blanked off pipe directly behind and towards the bottom of the intake manifold. :thumbsup:

Dak I think he's on about the stock boost gauge isn't he?

In which case if I remember correctly it's an electric one run from the TPS on the 185 ain't it?

Check the function of the TPS and make sure the pipe leading to it isn't leaking.

As for where it is Dak will have to fill you in on that, don't really know the 185 bay that well :thumbsup:

Oh..... That one :rolleyes: . The one that no one takes any notice of cos they`re pants. So slow to register you may as well not have it. Get a decent aftermarket one. Worth every penny. :thumbsup:

If you`r e going to do anything major to the engine and/or turbo, you will definately need a dcent boost gauge. Get the best you can afford. It`ll be cheaper in the long run. :yes:
