So I recently bought a Stepper Boost Gauge for my A3 1.8TFSI and fitting isn't as simple as I first thought due to the electronic dump valve.
Now from my research I can only see two options:
MAF Sensor Adapter: http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Boost_Gauge_Adaptor--product--1062.html
Replacement Valve: http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Re...FSi_Engines--product--815.html#specifications
Now I would obviously prefer the cheaper option but correct me if I am wrong, but how can you measure the boost pressure before the turbo?
And I don't really need the whole replacement valve kit as at most I will be doing a stage 1 remap on my car. The only real part I seem to need from the kit is this part:

The Vacuum tap for the intake manifold... and instead of the pipe going to the mechanical dump valve, I could have it going to my boost gauge sensor.
Thoughts?
