Polo GTI - Boost Gauge Wiring

[Grant]

i use the front left side fender instead.

remove the wheel, and the plastic bit on the arch and the one adjacent to the door.

only 15 mins job.

sounds easy enough. i have to take the left wheel off anyway to install a brake sensor loop so i'll do that at the same time.

what if the nylon tube isn't long enough to reach the intake manifold/FPR line? can i just get an extension?

Me personally...I wouldn't. I would just buy some more. Its pretty cheap stuff anyway. I paid about $2.45/m when I bought some from REPCO.

hey guys. i'm currently trying to install my boost gauge.

does anyone know where abouts the gromet in the passenger footwell leads to? i've threaded some nylon tube through it but just can't seem to locate it in the engine bay. any help much appreciated.

You cant really see it unless you take the TIP off (well not completely, but at least loose from the MAF so you can reach in behind). Its behind the airbox/computer box. You can reach it, but might have to do it by feel. It is the most direct route and even though its a bit of a pain it is the shortest route and looks good once done,

i agree.

connecting 2 tude with a connector might increase restirction and pressure.

may affect the reading on the meter.

Thanks for the help guys. I finished installing it myself today. Ended up running the boost line through the rubber stopper on the drivers side and over the wheel arch similar to the way s1831559 did it. Now I just need to get chipped so I'm making decent boost
