Default thinking of doing a DIY boost gauge install.

Hi all
I'm fitting my boost gauge today and although it's a fairly easy job I noticed there wasn't a DIY up for it yet.
If enough people show interest I'll take some photos and do a thorough write up of what's involved.

Cheers.

It will be used by some, and then ignored by others who start new threads on the same topic and have no concept of the search function

Gauge is fitted and working will do a write up soon with some pictures.
Haven't done the wiring for the light but I will do once I finish work tomorrow and grab my soldering iron from work. Will just edit the post once I've done it.

Your vacuum line hook up is epic fail spec. your only reading the pressure the wastegate sees & nothing relevent to the actual manifold (boost) pressure.
