Lcr gauges

[rydoo]

Hey guys,any1 fitd gauges in to a nomad pod,what did you wire them to for power?
Thanks

Except the T-Piece need to plumb into the FPR hosing and not the DV vacuum hosing.

jamjay i have mine plumbed into the top of the dump valve. what benifit do you get when they are plumbed into the fpr?

Same here whats the benifits (more accurate)

Look at my guide in the faq section on how to wire up the guages. Its simple and it works

can any1 fill me in please.

I have mine T'd into my fpr was told to do it that way carnt remember why tho

It's just more accurate if your plumb it into the FPR hosing. There's nothing wrong with how you've done it though. If you have a full version of VAGCOM, compare your guage reading to the actual reading from the ECU, then swap it to the FPR to see the difference.

I thought if you put it in to the top of the dump valve you cant get the engine cover on easily and pipes rub.

The FPR is a more accurate reading and you can hide the pipes better and they stay cooler

today i put a new oil temp gauge in, also i plumbed the boost gauge to the fpr, i must say it seems so much better, thanks guys

Just to clear this up; t-ing into the dumpvalve does not give a true boost reading due to the n249 valve being positioned between the inlet manifold pressure/vacuum source and the dumpvalve. The pressure reading you get by t-ing in here is affected by the n249, which has the ability to create vacuum in order to dump air as part of the traction control system. By t-ing into the FPR hose you are getting a direct pressure reading from the inlet manifold; unaffected by any clever valves seat decided to fit.

Note: If you have done the n249 bypass it doesn't matter if you t into the dv or fpr line as in both cases you will be seeing true inlet manifold pressures.
