boost gauge - camoturd - 21-02-2014

Hi I have a boost gauge (sorry if spelt wrong lol) it has power to it and is piped in but it is showing no boost at all ever. what could be causing this


RE: boost gauge - Piggy - 21-02-2014

Where is it plumbed into?


RE: boost gauge - camoturd - 22-02-2014

I don't no will have to get picture to show lol


RE: boost gauge - pro_steve - 22-02-2014

You want to connect to the intlet manifold as that is where we want to know the boost. Get a picture up and we can point you in the right direction.
Have you checked for kinks in the pipe?

awaits epic fail . . . .sorry . . .Big Grin


RE: boost gauge - Tom - 22-02-2014

Its in the airbox or something trololol

Tell me where has the pervious d¤¤k put it lol


RE: boost gauge - Mattcheese31 - 22-02-2014

what's that plumbed into? . . . .


RE: boost gauge - DeeTurbo - 22-02-2014

Looks like you've plumbed it into the vacuum line for the EGR. lol

What made you think, that's where it goes?


RE: boost gauge - 1616six - 22-02-2014

Looks like the servo vacuum people use for a DV?


RE: boost gauge - camoturd - 22-02-2014

I didn't put it in, it was in before I got car so not my fault


RE: boost gauge - Toms306 - 22-02-2014

Oops... lol

Does like its plumbed into the EGR pipe tbh.


RE: boost gauge - Tom - 22-02-2014

You need to get under and have a look. Does your boost gauge not read vacuum?


RE: boost gauge - camoturd - 22-02-2014

So can I just pull it off and plug pipe or would that create a problem

It does this is it I know it's a cheap and nasty Halford one but should still work

And this is where that pipe goes to

RE: boost gauge - Piggy - 22-02-2014

Yeah, take that T piece put and put a straight joiner in.

What dumbass owned the car before you!?

A serious one mate but no idea what that bit is that it is the pipe goes to is as it looks important


RE: boost gauge - pro_steve - 22-02-2014

haha, that's quite a good one, no wonder you aren't seeing anything. Get a nipple and tap in to the aluminium inlet manifold, no need for T peices etc.

The black thing with the pipes coming off it is only the EGR solenoid. Better off unplugging the blue plug to stop it working altogether tbh. Wink


Re: boost gauge - kentiiboii - 22-02-2014

Sorry if I'm looking at wrong pipe but isn't it going into brake servo?


RE: boost gauge - camoturd - 22-02-2014

I have no idea lol that is definitely why I have asked before taking it off as it is piped into the one that has 5 he writing on it and goes to that little black bin like thing Lol

I think im on the same wavelength as you there..

See if the gauge moves when you press your brakes Rofl


RE: boost gauge - camoturd - 22-02-2014

Ok will look tomorrow now then

What else do you think requires a vacuum feed to work..? Wink


RE: boost gauge - pro_steve - 23-02-2014

It's the vacuum pipe which feeds the EGR (comes from the brake servo yes), only the pipe is off at the other end from the looks of it so that is why it's not pulling a negative reading on the gauge.

I have checked if it moves when I press breaks and no it doesn't lol so has anyone got a picture of where it is meant to go then


RE: boost gauge - titch - 23-02-2014

Best place it to drill and tap the inlet elbow.


RE: boost gauge - camoturd - 23-02-2014

Should I wait to fit my intercooler before doing this or not
