I got the gauge off a guy on here so didn't get any piping, 4mm is the right size for the gauge and T-piece, just the OD of the OEM piping looks a lot bigger.

Yeah it is mate, no need to worry though, as long as the ID is right then you are home free, how much did you get? Think I got about 3m and had a fair chunk left over

Yeh, 3 metres off ebay, couldn't be bothered looking round

I went for black cause I rather like the OEM look

Did you manage to get a pic of your install mate? Everything arrived this morning, going to get it hooked up on Sunday weather permitting.

Sorry mate, had to go away this weekend just got back now...I can nip out and take a pic if you like with the flash on you'll see it fine

Be about 20 mins

This is the line I T-Pieced into

Showing the T-Piece

Where the hose runs through the grommet in the firewall

Hope that helps mate

oh and don't forget to take the engine cover off

Cheers mate thats a great help, didn't get chance to do it yesterday though cos of the bloody snow, I'm a warm weather creature

Couple of questions - the piece of hose from your t-piece to inlet manifold, is that oem hose or the silicone hose for the gauge (as in, did you cut the oem into 2 pieces or add an extra bit from the hose you had?)
And the grommet into the firewall, where is it and did you just pierce it or was there a hole already?

Thanks, I'm useless when it comes to this car stuff!

I actually just cut the OEM one, didn't realise I had done that lol
The grommet is on the drivers side of the engine bay, about 2/3rds of the way to the left as you look at the bay and down about 18 inches maybe.....you can get to it from under the steering wheel in the driver's foot well

any more advice jsut ask
