I finally installed my boost gauge...
thought it was gonna be harder than it was...
took me like an hour tops....

soo since my clutch is slipping i cant really get an accurate reading on what kind of pressure im boosting....

but umm not exactly sure what my vacum's supposed to read
but at iddle it reads around 20 and 23....does this sound normal?

01 1.8 quattro 5 speed, speedtuning stg. 2, labree hfc, 2.5" exhaust with magnaflow no resonator.....

 

yea the boost guage is pretty easy, i just took forever to wire up the light. 20-23 sounds about right

 

yea didnt do the wiring just yet...
im proly having my bro do it for me this weekend, im not very good with wiring...

 

For the wiring, all you gotta do is splice into the vent lighting wiring (only 00/01 has this, the wire runs on top of the vents) and ground to wherever looks good.

 

Would be a good chance to learn about car wiring - just make sure to disconnect the battery beforehand (you do know the radio code.. right?).

 

well i disconnected my battery before but never needed a code?

ohk yea ill try splicing into the vent wiring then?
ima do it in a couple mins. so if i run int6 some problems ill post again?

 

ok all went well and finally got some pics. up, hopefully this helps someone out in the future...:
heres were i used my t-fitting and spliced inte the fpr to get some boost readings...


i made a whole on the ecu box thing and ran the hoe through here and under the dash...


this is where i mounted the gauge and final product but ima re-do the vent it looks a bit scetchy.....

 

did u use a dremil? thats how i did mine. i traced the gauge onto the vent with a pencil and then started grinding until i had it perfect

 

you can still use that bad vent if you do what I did... Just some bondo.

 

dammnn brrman that looks soo clean
if only you had black interior
