Anyone know of a web site that sells the required gauge/connectors/etc?

What rating (of gauge) do I need?

TimM:
Your engine should boost at 1bar, so I would recommend gatting on that records more than this, mine guage goes to 2 bar and would sit at one bar nicely vertical, allowing plenty of movement either way for over/underboost.

I got it from a car tuning shop Carnossier, it's made by Tim Guages (which is handy for me having TIM written all over my dials!). I'm afraid I can't find there website though.

Mine would work great if I could work out how to fit it  :oops:

I've been Google'ing and came across someone who had performance problems which were solved by cleaning (?) the fuel sedimenter?

What is it? Where is it? How do I clean it?

About 2/3rd of the way down.  Cheers.

Ah, so that's what that thing is!

For the 12,000 mile service, they recommend taking it off and cleaning it internally. I assume you can do that without draining the fuel tank?
