|  Quick question Alright folks. I'm just about to fit a boost gauge this morning (octy RS)and was just wondering were best to fit the pipe from the engine. At the moment i am 99% sure that i'm going to take it from the vacuum pipe on top of the dump valve as mine is right between the intercooler and the throttle butterfly. This should be were the strongest vacuum is, i hope  Any ideas? Cheers Si |

| Call me stupid, but is that not going to give a fuel pressure reading? or is it the reading the same as the boost pressure? |

| I think Jon (TaviaRS) posted details of where and how he fitted his back in the days before he became a taxi driver.
