cheers mate.
so how much (ie how long) do i need the tubing to be???
also, do i need any extra bits and pieces to fit this gauge??
ie, more wiring, tubing etc???

also, what size tubing should i be getting, what type(ie, gas, water tubing?), is it 3mm tubing??


ill be posting pics up of all the parts i got from speedhut.
and ill try and get you to show me where these bits and bobs are ment to go, lol!!

dunno mate, speedhut just sent me a longer length of piping the second time round about 2 metres worth. so i dont know the width of the tubing, nothing else was required to fit mine.... altho having said that i didnt fit them, the local electrical place did :oops:

im not great with getting my hands dirty on the car :lol:

Last time i needed some hose to run from the engine to the back of the boost gauge i popped into my local mercedes parts department. I got 3m of flexible hosing for a reasonable price, could be worth a try?
