Those boost gauges are amazing pieces of work!
Holy hell great job! I wish I had the time and effort to do what you guys pull off O_O

Cheers mate!
I'm still not happy with the fit of the boost gauge but its all plumbed in and working great so its alright for now. Just need a better fitting DIN plate...
Cheers mate!
get a din blanking plate from sere (seat part for the mk4) and drill a hole to fit the guage?
worth a try

Not sure that SEAT do one. Might ask around on here where folks got theirs!
seat do a blanking plate (i have one) and then you would need to drill a the hole
Sweet, will give SERE a go then! I drilled this one but it just doesn't sit in the slot...
did you use the little copper reducer thing in the t-piece or not? looking good as it is.
just waiting for my blanking plate then i can start fitting my boost guage.

Cheers Damien, I've got the second one already so will try the first one now!
Its the second one I've got... and it doesn't fit in the slot, it just covers it. Sorry Cupra.Al...

The T-piece had the copper bit in so I fitted it as it was! Didn't realise it could be fitted without. No rattles or buzzing yet either.
im unsure if the copper peice should be in or out but if your using it and its fine in then all is good.
Got my blanking plate today when i saw it i knew it must be the same as yours tryed it and fits really poor i could probally get the electric sander on it but for the sake of £7 its hardly worth it oh well might just get one from sere motors instead.
out of intrest how much boost is your car showing would be intresting to know standard boost on an fr? as i beleive its not remmapped yet is it?

Peaks at about 12psi and settles to about 9psi... its hard to tell because "I have my eyes on the road at all times officer."
The car is standard on the engine front at the moment except for green cotton filter, Forge 007p recirc valve and drilled airbox.
New DIN blanking plate has arrived so will get it cut and fitted at some point soon! More pics to follow...
Actually quite easy to fit into the centrevent, i broke the previous owners one so had to attack a new one with a 50mm holesaw and a dremel. Hardest bit is getting the boost pipe to go from the firewall to above the radio.
And no, i didnt take this when driving, was my wee bro leaning over from the back.

This might be the next stage of my boost gauge project. I think I will try and get a vent from a scrappy and give it go on that, instead of trashing one in the car already! When I had the gklovebox out, I could see the plastic pipes supplying the air, so drilling a hole in there and threading the vacuum pipe and wire through should be easy. Will get my gauge mounted in the new DIN plate first though I think!
How easy are the vents to get out?
hey man. sorry if im going off topic but just read a lot of your page and just wondering where you got that honda stubby aerial on like the 1st page. i know it was a long time ago. do you still get reception with it or is it just for show? thanks in advance.
so did you go for this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FP-007-Univer...s_SM?hash=item23023de2c0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 have you trial fitted it?
if so hows it fit any better than the other useless one?
