a3 boost gauge

[Vernon de oliveira]

Hi all

I have a connector that I bought from Ebay very similar to the Forge one that connects between the PCV and inlet manifold !

My problem is I can't seem to get a decent seal , as the boost gauge does not go past 0 boost when flooring it, also I can hear a sucking/whistling sound,

Has anyone got any other ideas to tap into manifold for boost gauge or maybe purchase the forge gauge

Any advise would be welcome

Cheers

Is the leak from the connector? Is there a rubber o-ring inside the connector?

Where the PCV connects to the inlet manifold is the best place. My only advice would be to get the Forge connector.

Tried squeezing another O ring , still no luck . Might buy another hose that runs from pcv to inlet and use old one by drilling hole and fitting a pipe
