Boost gauge is vaccum(the electric ones accumulate oil vapour in the box converter and fail!)
I run the wires/pipe through the fire wall on the left ,just behind the Webasto,as you can also easily access it from inside.
NOOOOOO!!!!! You cant get the vac line from EGR valve ...This is VACCUM ,you need BOOST ,completely different!Anywhere from turbo to intercooler pipe to inlet manifold pipe.I prefer to fit as near to manifold as possible to get a true reading to engine .
Remove the egr valve which is part of the inlet manifold and drill a hole there to insert the fitting..Look at the pics...
