I had one on my leon fr tdi and boosted to a peak of 27psi with revo. I removed if after a while. Your best with the nomad pillar and an autometer pod. However the nomad pillar is 50 quid and crap quality IMO.

that guage only goes up to 20 psi so i need to find a 30 psi gauge

Got a nomad 'a' pillar with a Defi gauge that measures upto 2 bar. 30psi is around 1.8 bar.

Well that a BF gauge so around £140+vat. Then it requires a Control Unit, around £62+vat. All electrical so.... fed 1 wire down the pillar, this popped out under near the obd port, then fed the wire to the back of the HU. Thats where my controller unit is housed. Then piggy back the power dimmer and ignition off the HU ISO loom.

Then the other way, engine ---> cabin. I feed all the wires from the grommet that has my amp wire going through it this pops throught behind the glove box. Then routed those wires toward the HU. Plug wires into the back of the control unit all done.

How do you make the images smaller. Normally there is a bar saying "click here for actual size"
