Iv done mine into the pipe that comes out of the top of the DV. two jubilee clips and your away. there are a few other places to do with the fpr but i think the DV option is easier.

You can also take it off the FPR, If your useing a Forge Split-R DONT take it off the top of the D/V.

Just found out that stock boost is 7psi, which is 0.48 bar. My gauge shows a 0.5bar on full throttle and has peaked a few times at 0.65 bar then drops back down. Why is this? At least I know the turbo hasn't got any leaks now. :)

Yours got the KO3s mate?

Come to think of it I did here a slight hissing sound from behind the gauge, I think the piping came loose when I fitted it. But by then it got dark and I went to a car meet so probably losing some pressure there.

EDIT: OK just been out to look at noticed a small hole in the tube where I connected it to the gauge. I hate being heavy-handed! I've sealed it up and will take a test tomorrow.
