what problems will i have with boost gauge and Split R?

[b_wain]

hi all im thinkin of getting a pod and fitting a boost gauge but i heard that they have a problem running with a split r D/V

Any info on this would be great!

So long as you take the feed of the FPR and not the vacum pipe on the D/V it will be fine

sorry mate but that means nothing to me

I know the vacume pipe is the one at the top cut whats the FPR and is it easy to do?

FRP = fuel pressure regulater
Remove the engine cover just above the inlet manifold is the fuel rail on the right hand end is round bit this is the regulater, remove the black rubber vacum pipe at the front and join your guage pipe to this

Ok thanks mate

So how come if you use it to the vacume pipe it causes a problem?

see im not 100% confident about the FPR either as fitted mine there but im getting a reading of 30psi for vacuum as apposed to the usual 20psi

ive got a splitter r and ive fitted to the vacume pipe and alls been well but now when i plug vag com in i get a message saying "presure drop between throttle and turbo check (D.V) so im wondering is this why they say dont connect it to the vacume pipe.

any one had this problem or got any picks of one fitted to FPR. pics tell many stories
