I asked Halfords (via their web form) whether they could supply a standard boost gauge instead of a boost/vacuum gauge. See their answer in the Customer Q&A section here.
Click the tab to read questions and answers. I asked them again, but a little more specifically this time.
Bought these today.....
i intended to buy one but as they were overcharging me (the manager) the guy at the desk told me to take two lol
so if anyone needs one give me a shout
how much were these and where did you get them
i fiited mine today well sort of fitted it, anyway it buzz's so much i want to get the restrictor to stop this. awesome gti do a t piece restrictor will this do the job if i block the end of? or does anyone know where i can get one of the inline restrictor http://www.newsouthperformance.com/tubing.htm IN THE U.K?
Mine came with t-piece and in one end you can see a tiny metal valve. I blocked the other end off as you said and it's fine.

the buzz sound is a common thing with boost gauges its to do with there not being a constant pressure going to the gauge (i think) and people have had it without the egr race pipe

would be very helpful

Ive been running a boost gauge on my fabia vrs for ages
used one of those tapered hostails off bearing boys
just drilled a 13mm hole in the plastic boost pipe on the left, applied some PFTE tape, screwed it in, then applied a thin bead of black sealant around the outside to make sure of no leaks.
I have swoosh gauges and even with a no-buzz t piece I get buzzing when giving it some.
rather annoying, but liveable
without the no-buzz, you would crash the car on purpose after an hour driving its THAT ANNOYING, it doesnt even buzz it rattles even when driving normally as through someone had a set of maracas sat next to you.

well i fitted the hose tonight but the boost gauge needle has the shivers is this generally the case with a diesel?

Mine only shivers slightly on tickover. Did you install a brass inline valve?
where does everyone stick the restrictor? i read that the closer it is to the gauge, the less chance of the shivers everyone gets on the diesel lumps!

You will have got a 3 way T piece with that boost gauge Andy. You need to look in the ends, you'll see a valve in one end of the t piece. Blank one of the other t piece ends off and attach the hose to the other. You'll have one from the intercooler going into the end with the valve, then the other running from the t-piece into the gauge.
