just to make sure.....i have the gauge and a mounting bracket and the hardware....so i need....new line, t-fitting, and how do i run power to it...?? what kind of wiring??

 

Im glad your stoked im pretty pumped too i got my headlight issues taken care of today. Its a glorious day for audi owners lol.

 

Hopefully Tom didnt blow his motor again lol.

 

The plastic tubing should come out of the boost gauge and under your dash-threw the firewall and then you attatch the silicon hose to the end of the plastic tubing.. Thats how mine was. Have fun with your new toys.

 

alrite, i just feel like its really shitty tubing..

any other thoughts?

the tubing that came with mine was pretty shitty too. also, i ended up drilling a hole in my firewall so be aware of that.

 

no need to drill in ur firewall, u just make a little slit in the rubber gromets on ur ecu box and slide that little plastic hose threw there and into ur car.

 

alrite.so im gonna get from ECS...a t-fitting and a silicon hose. and the silicon hose will connect to the shitty placsit one that comes from the gauge, and ill connect those with a hose clamp and call it a day?

ps anyone selling a steeringcolumn pod??

Correct.. Get the t fitting that eliminates the gauge "buzz" from ecs. Mine buzzes like crazy at times.
