I have had a boost gauge sat in my garage which i have been meaning to fit for months. Anyway, i only have a short length of pipe with it, as the guy i bought it from had it installed at the top of the engine bay.
From the guides it seems that other pipes are generally used to get a boost reading, but does anyone know if i should use the pipe with the red or green tape?? Here's the picture!

Thanks,

Nick

Don't use those pipes, they are the fuel vapor pipes.

You need to use the feed that comes off of your fuel pressure regulator.

So, looking at the photo in my first post, can any of the pipes in the top left of my engine bay be used??

If not, then i'll have to go out and buy a bigger length of pipe!
