Hi all, how did you plumb in the boost gauge, as from a look over it- there are no blanking plugs on the manifold or turbo...

I am happy to drill and tap the intercooler, but its abit of a faf if there is an easier way..

Hi timbo-1975

would recommend you drill and tap pipe feeding the inlet manifold, Not the inter cooler.
Remove the steel pipe feeding the manifold after the intercooler and fit the pipe adapter in there,
will see if i can upload a pic. clean out all the swarf from drilling and taping before re-fitting pipe
Most gauges come with a screw in pipe fitting.

Here is a link to the gauges i fitted
