Klinck Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Finally pulled my thumb out and took a couple of pictures Tha hardest thing to do by far was getting the senders for the gauges into their places. The pressure wasn't too bad, just meant taking off the alternator. But the temperature! Holy crap it was awkward, intercooler off throttle body off. Luckily I had a massively long Allen key to fit the plug that had to come out, but had to use an 18" stilson to break the thing out! Wheels could do with a bit of a clean Link to comment
Klinck Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 looking decidedly good. Thanks a lot I changed to vacuum hose for the boost gauge today because I went for a drive the other day and the pipe that came with the kit got really soft with the engine heat and where I'd cable tied it in place it had collapsed and stopped the gauge working.
