Postby HamzGTT » Sun Nov 11, 2007 4:35 pm

Ive just brought a Prosport boost gauge and need help as to where the best place to t in under the bonnet I know there has been another listing in here some where but cant find it. Am wondering if its best to t in to the factory BOV line or is there a better place.

On the same topic, is there any hole on the drivers side of the caldina where I can poke the vaccum hose into the cabin? I can only see a gormet on the passenger side and that looks like I am gonna be needing a loooooooooong vaccum hose if I was to mount the guage on the drivers side near the pillar.

Yes you will probably have to run the long way.
I tried going through the steering column but too hard

feed it behind the drivers side front fender, then have it go into your cabin with the wiring from the door. easy.

DONT remove one of the air vents and put it in there, condensation WILL eat your CDs.

A friend of mine has done it and on long trips it becomes really annoying. Especially in summer. Hot + music or cool + no music.
Brute force and ignorance always prevails.

Failure comes from too little brute force, or too little ignorance.
