yeah ive seen this pic, but where on the engine is it and what do i need to take off to get at it?
yeah just take off the engine cover you will see its held on with 3 or 4 plastic clips, just twist them a little to unclip each one and it comes off
ive allready took off the large engine cover and the smaller one at the front. I still couldnt find it 
Sorry for sounding like a thicko!

the front, i.e standing from the front?
Thought id done the hard bit, wiring the damned thing up and threading the air tube through the wiring loom!

yeah just open your hood and take a pic from the front of your engine bay, without the cover on it
Don't cut it (no need) just pull it off and t-piece it. ALternatively just t-piece the vacuum hose going to the DV, they both work the same (I've tried both, no difference in boost gauge reading).
ok will need to be tonight when i get home but will try and find a similair pic on here in the mean time

thats all very well but my FPR had one of them clips that are use once only, didnt have any jubilee clips so thought it easier to cut,
as for taking it from the dv, iv heard people say it hasnt worked properly for them from the DV and upopn ringing jabba for advice they recommended the FPR too so there must be a reason
yeah i see it but it aint like the picture that was first posted. And which pipe do i connect it to, the one you can see in the pic?
there are two pipes on the FPR, one going to the underneath of it, ignore that just plumb it into the pipe going into the top of the FPR like on the above pic and my pic, the only difference is the FPR in the pic above seems to be twisted round, maybe they have upgraded to a 4bar FPR
Boost gauges work just fine from the DV vacuum hose. If you're not happy using the FPR just use the DV hose, works just the same, many thousands of others have with no problems.
yea if you having major probs with the FPR just use the DV, i was going to use the DV only thing that swayed me was Jabba saying the FPR and some other chap saying his gauge didnt work properly off the DV
