well the guage is in - my hands are bleedin, back aching - and i have one hell of a stress related headache !

Someone told me this would be easy but NOOO - they forgot to consider the GREMLINS that always invade projects like this

Anyway - in a nutshell - i couldnt use the second vac line thats blocked off - hose wasnt big enough - so i spliced in a T peice off one of the other hoses - guage gets the job done - alas having a nightmare of a time fitting it

to install it in the corner near the apillar - i had to remodify the Speco Guage cup to give about another cm of clearance for the wires and hose for the boosg guage - REVERSE the way they screw the mounting brackets, curse at it alot to make it fit. Its in now - just have to wire up the little light as yet.

The car runs at a const and and steady 13PSI of boost at maximum Dial in , and seeing the speco guage is a combined vaccum/boost guage - 19 points of vaccum on idle

Dunno if this is meant to be right or not - so can someone shed some light on it ..

Anyway - heres a pic of it installed
