if you're not comfortable doing it with pics to guide you, maybe its a little out of your range.

oil pressure will require a T fitting, and an adapter. T fitting needs to be 10x1 metric, adapter needs to go from 10x1 to equivalent NPT thread. They're close, and if you try to force it, you'll just get leaks. You can find them on a bunch of audi/vw webstores. VDO makes the one I'm using.

Might as well buy an intake manifold gasket too, because I wouldn't even begin to try installing the pressure line/sender (whether your mech/electric gauged) with the manifold in the way. Stock sender is 10x1 thread, but the nut is something like a 25mm (can't remember exactly) Screwed into the side of the oil filter plate. The T is so you can screw the stock sender back in, and retain your warnings/lights, while still giving you a port to run your gauge.

Boost is easy, and has been covered, Im not going into that.

Dude, it's a step by step process of the whole install, with each picture commented on what is going on. If you can't follow this, don't get out of bed, much less try your own install!

1. I saw no comments.
2. Its not out of my leauge, i dont like to do things half a$$, rigged poorly, or stumble my way through things- not saying i would but if anything should happen a referance would be nice. So apparently wanting a referance is a bad thing and looked down on.
3. When i went to the link half the pictures didnt load and the ones that did had the same caption as the first one.



So i guess asking a "question" on a"forum" -is something to be a smart a$$ and reply on for other people.


Funny.

1. They are there.
2. Wrong. It's great to ask questions, and even better to use the info people provide.
3. They all work fine for me.

Not sure what your last sentence is supposed to mean, but whatever, and good luck. Really.
