i hooked my up to the fpr, as the greddy instructions said. I have a electronic though, but that should not make a difference.

What, do the people here have a problem with autometer? Sheesh, those gauges from japan cost more than my turbo did.

You can split from any line coming into the mani. I used the nipple from the cruise control, since I don't have cruise anymore.

Re: ... boost gauge install (mos)
Until recently autometer didn't offer any backlit gauges, however VDO does and they are very nice (stock for porsche, sp?)

Re: ... boost gauge install (1.8T_EG)
That's awesome. Yeah, mine is slow as hell when climbing. I hear the turbo spool at 2,500, but don't get in the positive #'s until like 3,500. I'm going to go do that right now...

Where do you get the tee in the red
circle to hookup to the fitting that comes with autometer gauge.
