Boost gauge w/ Kleemann
Wonder how one would approach installing a boost gauge in conjunction with the Kleemann S/C? Typically, one can tap into the intake manifold, but as the Kleemann replaces factory intake manifold, where else (if any) can a boost gauge be tapped?
TIA.

Hank-
It couldnt be easier:
On the right front edge of the manifold (driving direction) there is a pressure tap for the FP reg. Use a tight fitting (4mm ID) rubber T fitting to replace the rubber hose already in that spot. Boom- you are ready to go.
Perfect rubber fitting from MBZ is: PN 111 078 00 81 (its a vacuum T from a 4 cylinder evap system).

We are sending the engine cover out today. Taped on the underside of the cover is one of the vacuum T's I mentioned. This is all you will need to tap into the pressure side of the SC system. The boost GGE will read VAC and BOOST so be sure to buy a GGE that reads both.
