I installed a VDO 0-30 psi boost gauge today.
It's a mechanical gauge and I connected the vinyl tube and brass fitting to my weeks elbow. Getting the fitting into the elbow was a pain because I didn't have a tap for the threads. So I drilled and slowly worked it in there and sealed it as best I could. Seems to be holding well.
If you plan to install one like this definitely use a tap.

The gauge works good and is very responsive.
Much more responsive than monitoring boost with TorquePro.
TorquePro measures boost directly from the MAP sensor and the boost gauge reads about 1 psi less than what is displayed on TorquePro.
The max boost I saw on the gauge was 20 psi.

Need to drill and tap mine too, is that right where the egr used to be?

Thats the intake elbow where where the FCV used to be.
But yes, the EGR has also been completly removed.

Just FYI,

The VDO gauge does not come with any tubing, fittings, or wire connectors.

I drilled and tapped the intake/cam cover just above the intake/weeks elbow. The aluminium is a lot thicker than the weeks elbow. Only problem is being part of the EU is its hard work trying to find a pressure gauge that reads in PSI

Well I have the egr removal kit coming soon myself, I was afraid of drilling and tapping into the cover o.o so this makes it so much easier.

Its not so difficult to drill and tap the cam cover. I did mine with the cover removed but you could stuff a vacuum cleaner hose up into the intake whilst you drill and tap to remove any debris.

Gloshift sells cheap gauges and they ship overseas. Same as summit racing where you can get vdo or autometer.

If tapping in the cover elbow you don't need to remove the valve cover, just stuff a rag inside the top elbow part and drill from the top. By "elbow" I am referring to the top part of the valve cover where the ccv assembly was mounted on and on which weeks kit gets also secured.

Thanks for the info, The strange thing is I purchased 3 gauges as a set, oil temperature gauge That reads in degree's C, oil pressure that reads in PSI and turbo gauge that reads in BAR Do you guys have this problem in the USA or is it more uniformed.

I dont remember seeing this, but I know usually digital gauges have both units, standard and metric, I'm using these terms loosely... And analog display gauges have options available for each. Good they didn't give you temps in Kelvin and pressure in kpa...
