I think it's 4mm as standard pinin.

Soppose it depends what you're boost guage is like as to what you will need for it.

Thank you. One question, my boost gauge is a blitz one, is it possible that it could be 3mm as it's jap? Or are boosties just 4mm all day every day?!

Thanks B, I'll give 4mm a go and see what happens. Blitz have only given me about a metre and a half of cable. I think that's a poor show on a boost gauge that retails in Britain for £150

Should have gone for the electric Greddy gauge, I got enough cable to fit it in the boot.






Makes reading the gauge kind of difficult though !

Lol! I don't normally choose boost gauges on the basis of how much cable you get. Maybe I should

Seriously though, the mirror gauge is pimpin' I've even set the i-color to a matching black carbon face dial

The vacuum silicone hose I got from ebay are crap. They are ok for NA engines but are too soft for turbocharged engines.
