I still cannot find a hole to put the vacum piping in for the aftermarket gauge i got! I have had a dam good look!

 

Can i please have pictures of were you put yours??

If you take off the rear part of the front arch liners, there is a bloody great grommet behind it mate, I run my wires through that.

Ah thanks scotty, do you have any pics mate?

 

Also need to know other places to put the cables

No mate no pictures, you can't miss it though, I have loads of wires and tubes runninf through it though. it's quite big

Any chance of you taking any 2mor or 2nite mate :)?

nope soz mate the car is in the garage with no forward gears lol.

Honestly though ,mate it's easy to find, just remove the back of the arch liner and it's down in the corner. leads into the area near the fuse box.

guide for fitting stereo cables, but the same principle can be adapted for boost piping... just be careful of the route and passing through the grommit with the vacuum hose not to kink it...

iv used method 2 personally for my amps wiring and my boost gauge... though my boost gauge has a sender unit which i placed in the engine bay so just wires coming through for that...

scotty owes me a pint for saving him the requirement to rip off all his trim to take photos :rofl:

:duffer: there ya go matey boy.

hth

If its just the small plastic or copper vac tube to your boost gauge which I am assuming you are fitting to a gauge pod on "A"Piller. Just push it straight through the bonnet release cable hole and "T" Off any small pipe on balance bar=Sorted:dance::dance::dance:

I installed it via joelys guide, but the boost gauge says the car is only boosting to 7psi :| i hope its the gauge faultly not the car!!! GRRRRRRRRRR

oh...7psi's no good. Thats what happened when i fitted my guage, lol

 

Looks like a fault finding mission for you.

my old uk did it too! i never did find out why, it wasn't kicking out any error codes and i couldn't find any faults... (i say i but... thanks AndyP :D)

 

i even calibrated the sensor and the gauge @ work... how did you rectify yours james? what was the prob?

i rectified it with an aftermarket boost controller to bypass the whole lot as it was a wiring loom fault !

 

*Don't do this if you don't know what the problem is, it may go bang!!*

I will hopefully pop down pauls and ask him to take a look

There's LOADS to check, lol. Boost leak, det sensor, boost solenoids, wiring loom, ECU failure, water temp sensors etc etc

the boost gauge says the car is only boosting to 7psi

 

Sorry for the mini Hijack! :o

 

Just out of interest, what was indicated on the stock boost controller? only reason i ask is i've noticed quite alot of people saying how bad the stock gauges are (temp and boost), now mine swings from -14 (idling) to +14 (foot flat to floor) but just wondering whether i could reliably take that as i'm getting roughly 14 psi when flat on the accelerating.

 

TIA

no its not a reliable guage, best to get an aftermarket on for a couple of quid

Mine does the same, goes to +14, just shows how unrealiable they are, remember it is an electric gauge not a mech gauge so i have been told.

If thats the case can anyone point me in the right direction for a cheap but more reliable gauge? i've not been overly bothered about it before but if they're that unreliable i suppose i should!

 

Cheers fellas

p.s. again sorry for the thread hijack

I just got one from halfords. Works fine. Needs to be in psi idealy and go up in decimals of 1,
