This is how I did mine. If you open the passenger door and remove the "fuse cover" next to the air vent, the grommet is just behind the soundproofing. You can take the glovebox out too and route the pipe towards the central instrument panel.

awesome cheers mike, they make it seem a little clearer. Is that gromit visible from the engine bay without taking a load of stuff out?
Just take the rubber seal off and lift the scuttle panel. Its very simple.
Spot on, cheers hopefully finish college in a couple of hours an get myself home and have a bash, assuming it has arrived in the week whilst I've been away!

Got mine all in an wired etc now, just having trouble finding something to stick the pod to the dash might just have to silicone it on haha
might just have to silicone it on hahaCan anyone tell me the location of the vacuum hose to connect the T-Piece section of the kit. My car is an 07 FR TDI Beeza.
Is it hard to do? The only thing I don't now is where to connect the actual hose part. Anyone have a Diesel with a Gauge installed and working??
Just done a quick search and it appears that its a much more complicated job than i thought. Have to use the pipe from the intercooler to get a reading.
From what I understand it is the pipe that is coming out from under the engine cover that you need to tap into..
The pipe on the drivers side, near the coolant bottle if you get me?
EDIT* You don't 'T' into anything, you need a fitting to put the hose onto..

There's the link to the part you need to tap into the intercooler pipe for boost pressure. Also, it'd be a good idea to fit PTFE tap when you screw it in..
And there is a picture of how it needs to be fitted; although when I do mine, I'll be putting it underneath the pipe so it can't be seen!
