Cdti turbo boost gauge

**sycovxr** · 17th March 2014, 01:25 PM

I'm thinking of buying a boost gauge for my cdti zafira

Is there a how to guide anywhere?

Does it matter which gauge is used?

Any help would be great!! Got the car bug again

It's just trying to find where to connect the hose to get the boost reading?

On a diesel it has to be put in the boost pipe not like a petrol in the vac line , I put 1 in my sri with no probs

As Ant says matey, you just need an adaptor that you can pierce the large boost hose with on the right side of the engine and then feed your vac piping to it, then through the bulkhead and into the dash

Will have a look into this then - have seen nipple connectors welded onto the metal 90 degree bend at the rear of the boost pipe

Down load the app called torque. 3ish quid. Then buy an OBD reader off ebay 10er. All the gauges you could wish for, plus talking alarms, code reader and reset, track recorder, all sorts. Best 13 quid I've ever spent.

Heres a a screen shot of mine. Running the Vauxhall theme,
