Spa boost gauge ftting

[Jamesemt]

I've tried searching, not many people seem to have a Spa boost gauge. The pressure adapter is different, more like an oil sensor than a boost sensor.

There isn't any tubing running to the back of the gauge either, just a multi plug which leads to the sensor and battery wires...

Anyone fitted this gauge? Where did you tap into? Any pictures?

The SPA gauage you have is electrical not mechanical. To fit it properly you need to tap into same alloy pipe going to your intercooler or fit it to an EGR replacement pipe like mine. SPA stuff are not easy to fit but they are very good.

Cheers mate, errr I think!!

I am totally confused - always thought that pipe area was the oil filter - that's where I plumbed in the oil temp gauge...

Think I need to find a diagram of the engine!!

I have a 2.0 PD engine which has a different layout then the 1.9 PD. Saying that my engine layout isn`t like any other 2.0 PD.
This is a picture with the boost censor in view on my old turbo set up.

Thanks for that - think I'm going to just tap it into an IC pipe - is it just a case of drilling a big hole? Don't worry, going to get a more competant mate to do it

If I make the hole after the IC then surely I can monitor charge temps too??

Yep that what the censor is doing that is pointing direct towards you on my EGR replacement pipe.
