Well peeps, i've got an Ibiza FR TDI PD 130, now I really want a boost gaude
for the A piller.
Now has anyone else done this mod in the MK4 Ibiza???
If so then where did you get the gauge from and how did you fit,
which pipe did you splice into for the pressure/vacuum??

Also it has to be back lit in orange to match the rest of the dash illumination!!

Cheers John

Hi mate i bought the autoguage one from halfords as it is grey when light is off same as standard then you can get it to light up red aswell looks really good but to be honest i wich i wouldn't have bothered it was great for about a week now its just annoying the downside to this gauge is it is very loud just a buzzing noise here is the link to the gauge.

I drilled into the plastic pipe that runs down on the left hand side of the engine on the flat bit (will try get some photo's up in a bit) only problem with that is when the engine cover goes on it tends to fold the pipe over and block the air works fine without the engive cover on though!!

Couldn't tell you where to install the vac pipe on a desiel, I think it's total different to a petrol one, but I've got my gauges on the A pillar. Went for a Defi gauge
