Hi all,

Im looking at installing a turbo boost gauge for my next mod, and given the choices available I thought I'd ask on here first before diving straight in!

I'm after either plumbing in a pressure line to run a mechanical gauge, or tapping into existing sensor to run an electrical gauge. SO, my question(s) are:

Where is the best place to tap into a boost pressure sensor for the electrical setup? I've heard that the MAP sensor does not give an accurate gauge reading, and that a boost sensor which is read by the SCI directly is the way to go (correct me if I'm wrong, by all means!) If this is the case, where is it located?

If mechanical is the way to go, where is the best place to tee off of?

Thanks for any help anyone can give. I'll be sure to post a step by step guide with pics after the install!

-Grant
