Boost gauge on TDI

[evo2345]

Looking to fit a Boost gauge to my TDI but need to know where to plumb it into? anyone with a TDI fitted one that can help?? Also need to know the best place to run the boost pipe into the cabin

 

[evo2345]

anyone?

best bet is to copy what MK4 Ibiza TDI owners do

Dont think theres any MK2 owners with guages on TDI's

You can get a plugin module, to the big MFA+, so you can see boost and other nice features ind the MFA display

Something that im interested in Madsen, any more info on it?

Just to check as well is this the display you mean http://home2.btconnect.com/nickandmel/images/mfd2.jpg

I'm interested in that too, I'm not keen on the idea of an aftermarket gauge. I bet it's expensive though.

Weird, since if one dont got the Seat BT, why would one have the big MFA

Who will be the first to test this?

ive got a guage on my mk2 the only way to get a guage to show boost on a tdi engine is to tap into the main boost pipe going to theinlet manifold...

Zombie thread alert!

Sorry to evocate stuff back from the dead: anyone tried this? On the site it says it doesn't apply to leon mk2's but being applicable to golf mk5's I'd expect it to be ok.
Seems well worth the price as 90% of the times extra instruments don't blend in with the stock gauges making the interior look like crap.
This should be cheaper and more practical than me buyin an iphone just to run Rev by devtoaster [ok, that and Dynolicious ],,,
