| Is this thread of any help? PS Just found Jon's writeup which accompanies that picture. It's pretty comprehensive. "Get a 2 way adaptor and plug into the existing pressure pickup point. You need to keep the standard one plugged in or you get the oil pressure light on all the time. It's on the righthand side of the block, below the L shaped bit of plastic that goes round the side of the engine, near the crank case breather pipe, as per below. Remove A, shift B out of the way and follow the Arrow (C). It has a single wire going in and the connector is quite stiff. Mind you don't rip the wires out."

| I was surprised to find Mike (from Jabba) plugging in the boost gauge somewhere underneath the engine cover (can't be any more technical than that, sorry  ). When asking him about it he said that the best place would be at the DV, but this was more convenient (as it was just for checking boost level after remap adjustments where made)... any of the techie guys able to confirm this? |
