Pegleg Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Excuse me if it's a daft question, can I plumb the boost guage into the pipe from the turbo to the actuator? Or am I better off fitting a take off to the plenum. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Can do but the extra pipe air volume may slow activation of the gate - a short line to the gate is preferred so a separate guage line from plenum is usual choice! Quote Link to comment

Had it running today. Boost guage was going mental. Did you have to do anything to damp the needle @Paulm? Quote Link to comment

colinworth79 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I connected all 4 carbs tops to a manifold then used this to feed the boost gauge . It will pulse with just being on one especially on tick over. 1 Quote Link to comment

Gixer1460 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Use a glycerine filled gauge - then no issues. 1 Quote Link to comment
