Could someone be kind enough to post a pic of which pipe to put the T-Piece in
on a 1995 2.8, in order for the boost gauge to function.
i cant seem to find one via the search function

on a 2.8 find the wastegate actuator on the turbo and put the 't' in to that hose, or if you have brought the hose out behind the battery 't' into the presure hose going to the top of the injector pump |

Thanks Iain,
yes, the hose is routed from behind the battery, it will have to be the one on the pump
the pipe i have is black 5mm stuff, is that too small?
the guy in shop said it was vacuum pipe
should i switch to washer diameter pipe?
regards

cut into the hose leading to the boost enrichment device, i have done the last few with halfords windscreen washer pipe and t-pieces ( heat the pipes in hot water to make them easier to fit) |

ok john
look in this picture,, at the very very top you can see a braded hose leaving the top of the pump and going off the top of the pic ( to the left of the nut with yellow thread lock on it)
cut unto that hose and fit a 't'

Thanks Iain
As Jim Bowen would say "Super, Smashin"
will get the hose from halfords tomorrow and fit it late afternoon.
The stuff i have at the moment is too small at 5mm.
Have also sorted my oil pressure gauge, with an adaptor onto the oil pressure take off,
Gauge is working fine and reads between 90 and 100 degrees.
Hopefully by Sunday i will have all 3 ralliart gauges fully functional
