Peter, where did you get all of the bits from to plum in the boost gauge ?

I've got the white VDO gauge sitting in my drawer

[SR71]

Out of interest, if the vac line that is indicated on this photo becomes detached, from the piston(?) on the left hand side of the picture, what would be the effect?

What is that piston(?) part?

Any tips on how to get the ECU off its perch?

Cheers.

Take your pick Dean, thers been a few different places they have been put now, so I think its personal preference.....
On another note, have you moved the cc unit to somewhere else on the newly refurbed manifold?

Dean,

if thats your CC it looks like it is non standard, nothing like mine anyway.

Right Mark! It is/was fitted aftermarket.I had at a look at yours and Sals at GTI, and it looks as though it is almost definately in the way

I put mine in the centre vent you gave me Dean.

Paul,
The end piece you need for that VDO gauge is a 1/8" NPT. You can get a fitting kit with the end piece, T-piece, vac hose & silicone joiners from Demon Tweeks (Part No. LMA001/B) for about a fiver. HTH.
