Finally I managed to force the apexi into its place. Here is how it looks. Day and night.

With the light on. Plasma backlight. I connected it to the ECU feeding hose. I wonder why pressure it shows wouldn't go above 0,8 bar. It should read 1,5. Should I connect it directly to inlet manifold maybe?Attached FilesGabor

Very nice.
But you should have taken the white one if you ask me.

White one was not available with bar reading scale. And I thought the black facia would remain unnoticed by missus. I was wrong, needless to say. Damned female gender. One could assume they have no clue about technical issues but I tell you, none of my modifications escaped her attention so far, not even the subwoofer changes. And that is in the trunk....
Sören, where do you connect the boost duct?Gabor

Connecting to that hose from the ECU is correct, if you expect more boost than its showing then its likely you arent getting what you should be and have a problem somewhere.... as its very unlikely that the gauge is that far out.
Time to start fault hunting, pull fault codes etc.
If you floor it in 6th from low rpms check to see what it peaks at and note what boost is at diff rpms as it climbs.Ant

Ant, shame on me. I gave it a try in 6th, as much as possible on my way home from the pharmacy and as you said it would be it went aup easily to about 1,4 bar and then came the curve so I had to hit the brakes. Tomorrow I'll try this out of town and see the top. I HAVE TO CONFESS TO YOU ALL THAT TODAY WAS THE FIRST TIME I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. The level I considered earlier as floor was not the floor actually. Hmmmm.Gabor
