I have written a guide on installing a boost gauge in your Leon, find it here:

Leon boost gauge installation guide (http://www.rd20vturbo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/boostgauge.html)

Hope it is of some help.

Having done the install myself, I too would say this is an excellent guide, well done! Would have saved me some time!
I'm sure, with your permission, Z will add it to the guides on the main site too.

Once the new site is built i'll add a link to it, in a guides section, for the time being it'll get more noticed in here.

love the scoth locks sure your dlr would love to see the fitted ever thought of solder and heat shrink?? tends to work better, looks better, and is a stronger joint.
only suggestions

Erm ... I think my dealer would notice the boost gauge first!!! I love scotch locks too, much handier than solder and heatshrink which I use at my work every day! Looks better - behind the dash, LOL. :D

Thanks for the feedback though. ;)

i used both guides when fitting mine so thanks guys.

my leon a little different as no spare grommet where there should have been just a large white box??? went in with the bonnet release cable in the end. no leaks

wouldnt have had the confidence to try this installation without pabs and robdons guides. ive just done oil temp too
