Diesel Boost Guage

[BladeUK]

Hi Gents,

I'm looking to add a boost guage to me remapped Leon TDI...

How would I go about doing this?

Cheers
Rich

As Phil so helpfully said..... Do that first. I assume it will come with a fitting kit. Mine came with a self tapper, so all that was needed was to drill a tiny hole in the inlet manifold and screw it in - Its very solidly attached in there. See this pic. Its the brassy fitting at the top, with a black pipe coming off it (that goes in to the cabin to the guage)

It came from Allard turbosport. But its a racetech one and I'm sure I've seen the same guage on the demon tweeks website - worth a search for it.

Saved ya some legwork
This is the same as mine

Not sure if it comes with the fitting gear too - I hope so.

Are there differeing types for diesel or petrol? There a couple on there, don't know which really!

did you get a fitting kit aswell or did it have all the bits included?

diesels push much higher boost, so getting a 15psi one will be pointless unless you're going to never exceed 1 bar. Ideally you want a 2 bar guage, or 30 PSI. Chances are unless you push mega boost at some stage,you're unlikely to max it out. I've not maxed out my 2.5 bar guage yet, but you never know.....
