Well not really boost gauges fault

Got the vac pipe going from cabin into engine bay now....And gauge sitting on dash in a pod(thanks muppet) just needs fixed down..

All my vac pipe joins and t pieces are the wrong sizes grrrr....Cut the pipe to fit the t piece in and it doesn't go as it's too big

Kieran is sleeping on the couch so can't go get t pieces and joins...

Will homebase etc sell pipe t pieces and pipe joins yeah?

Halfords do em in all shapes and sizes! Had exactly the same problem with mine........go to the section where they do all the windscreen washer gear and you'll find them there. They have T-s, reducers, extenders.............

no b and q that's close, but if they do surely homebase / focus will do them too, they are only 5 mins down the road, 15 mins to halfords and about 25 to b and q...

yeah nath not bad...

fit gauge to dash.
run vac pipe through bulkhead and into bay.
i took the fuel regulator pipe and cut it and fitted t piece.

as long as you can find a route through the bulkhead and know what pipe to cut it's easy....
