Fat Tony 0 Posted December 24, 2003 There are two points that I know off for attaching your tube to, one after the ECU going to the dash (using Y or T peice) or after the throttle body there is a small pipe coming out. Go to the below link and this shows you how VW test the output simply wire you gauge up under the hood and try then install if it is working. When I fitted mine I thought the unit was screwed as it wouldnt boost but when I nailed it on the on road 11psi :) Was late at night and the nieghbours would not be impressed with me http://www.corradoclub.it/videos/gCharger.wmv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fat Tony 0 Posted December 24, 2003 I have this one. http://corrado.atx-hosting.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=68 Was a bit pricey but never seen one like it so its a bit different. It stores your max boost and I have it in the glove compartment. Only thing is no vac. So trying to find a vdo vac guage now.

I think the gauge is faulty, i know my charger should read at least 0.6 to 1bar..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont know how big your connector is but one thing we thought about trying was with a foot pump was attaching the gauge to it and pumping till we got a reading. Very crude I know but may work.
