I'm no expert but I think you need to reduce the amount of boost going into the gauge with a little pressure ruducer plug thingy that has like a small pin hole in it.
ive got a Tpiece that came with my dial with a small copper thing inside so i put that in the pipe and block the the end off?
Just cut the pipe you have going to the boost gauge and put the T in with the part with the little brass reducer going to the gauge. Then use a little of the spare hose you should have left from installing the gauge and put in on the end of the T you dont need, the just folt the pipe over and put a cable tie round it to keep it bent and it will block it off.
Can I just ask where you ran the vacuum pipe through the bulkhead mate? I am thinking of doing this in the next couple of days!
Damien: any thoughts?
Did you wire it into the headlight switches?
No, I modified my head unit wiring and took the feed from there
If it shakes on tick over, then i doubt that it's a boost issue... more like a vac leak.
Took me bloody ages, I used the original rubber grommets that the bonnet release used by stretching them and threading it through, It will come through where the bonnet cable is, when you got your hand up there pull back the sound deadening and you should feel it
