Ring the guys here : http://www.lmaperfor...tim_gauges.html

And ask for their 1 bar oil / boost gauge fitting kit . they wil post you all the kit you need to set up the gauge for about £10 i think , you get the tubing , live and eath wiring + the funny bolts to attach tube to back to guage in the centre.

That gauge is in PSI, do you know of a turbo that boosts up to 100 psi?

Gotta be oil.

The photo i can see is of an oil pressure gauge not a vacuum as vacuum is measured in inHg (inches of mercury) not psi (lb's per square inch)

Did you just buy this on ebay? It looks like one I was watching but didn't bid on as I prefer the Smiths vacumm gauges. Anyone got one they don't want?
