Got mine of e-bay cost around £20 inc p+p came with all fittings needed except the mount which you can get at most motor factors for a few quid,i know you can get hold of some cheaper ones on e-bay if you keep an eye out.Mine goes up to 35psi which is well plenty as 12psi is the max on a 2.4 anyway!

Can you tell me where on the 3.0 engine to fit the silicon vacuum hose for the boost gauge please?

n ot sure about the 3.0 but on the 2.4 at the back of the passenger side of the engine bay there is a small box that says 'boost' or something like that on it with a small rubber hose, splice into that with a T peice and you should be good to go.

boost gauge

i got a 1995 3.0td and bought a boost gauge for it.
cant find a box to fit the pipe to like on the thread for a 2.4.
can i fit the vaccum pipe to the waste gate pipe or is there an easier pipe i can fit it to.
cheers for any advice in advance.

will find a pic of mine tomorrow for you see if it helps
