Where do I put the boost gauge T piece

[kineticz]

I have just managed to get the boost gauge tubing through the car. Where shall I fit the T-piece???

Thanks

Iv done mine into the pipe that comes out of the top of the DV. two jubilee clips and your away. there are a few other places to do with the fpr but i think the DV option is easier.

same place i did mine and it works a treat

A pipe goes in one side of the DV, then out the other. Does it matter which side I mount the T piece? Thanks

You can also take it off the FPR, If your useing a Forge Split-R DONT take it off the top of the D/V.

Well it's up and running

What's the stock bar pressure for a KO3 180 Cupra engine?

 

[kineticz]

Just found out that stock boost is 7psi, which is 0.48 bar. My gauge shows a 0.5bar on full throttle and has peaked a few times at 0.65 bar then drops back down. Why is this? At least I know the turbo hasn't got any leaks now.

Mine goes to 9 psi, standard car/map.

 

[kineticz]

Yours got the KO3s mate?

Come to think of it I did here a slight hissing sound from behind the gauge, I think the piping came loose when I fitted it. But by then it got dark and I went to a car meet so probably losing some pressure there.

EDIT: OK just been out to look at noticed a small hole in the tube where I connected it to the gauge. I hate being heavy-handed! I've sealed it up and will take a test tomorrow.

Never take a boost gauge line off the DV, you'll get a false reading (affected by N249)

I ran mine along the fuel rail to the FPR, nice and neat too.

What happens if the N249 has been bypassed, then it's taken off the top of the DV?

 

[LEE69]

That's fine as it is not in-line
