stupid question time
Topple:
my turbo boost gauge finally turned up today.
The kit supplies a brass connector to screw into the manifold and a plastic T piece to fit into a pipe.
Where is the best place to fit one or the other ?
Reaper:
Here is a pic of mine, it helps that I have a dump valve to tee into but you want to get it a close to the plenum as possible to get the most accurate reading.
Topple:
intresting place to put it, never thought of that.
The instructions say on the manifold.
Porny:
Ignore the instructions in the box....
The best place (as recommended by Land Rover) is here (see pic)

Do you have a plenum on a diesel??? Intake manifold is the usual term.
It's only worth taking it from the inlet manifold if the actuator control is also taken from there.... which it is not as standard.
Just T into the pipe from the turbo compressor housing to the actuator (which in turn has a T to the injector pump)...
A word of warning.... the T piece supplied with TIM gauges are very easy to break!!!!

what difference does the fitting of the dump valve to a tdi make?
