Re: How to Mount a pressure gauge pressure turbo?

Hello Antonio,

Are you asking for a permanent mount on the dash or a diagnostic set up?

I was looking for a permanent dash mounted,

I think this is relevant information, I don't understand why MB does not supply it is as standard readings, like temp and oil pressure.

Thanx

Antonio

Just to quickly check you boost pressure,  put a tee piece in any of the small pipes connected to the inlet manifold, connect that up to a gauge, just run the pipe out of the bonnet and in through the window, once you,ve seen what the boost is just take it off.

Thx, Gordon,

so for example, T-joint at the ALDA pipe?

It would be easier if there are some type of pressure to electric signal converter? it would be easier to route the wiring.
