Yes it should work fine and you can split it to work with Dawes.

Bought one the other day... sitting on the bench in the shed, to be fitted in the next week or so. Looks to be good quality and I have no reason to believe it wont be anything but awesome. Only issue I can foresee, for the VDO gauge it comes with a small grommet to be installed inside the line, near where the boost pressure is tee'd off. Not sure how Ill go shoving it down the line to be able to get this barbed fitting on the line.

How did the install go Teno? Do you have any pics? Looking to get one myself shortly.

Have one installed. Works great, took all of 1min to install. Undo two bolts and screw up the new two bolts and its done

Good easy mod Limmy. Get one. They seem to work well with no issues. Easy to fit too.

[Limmy]

yep these are awesome !! perfect fit

Works great got one installed and took a whole of maybe 10 mins after taking cover off ect works great and easy install no welding required!

[teno45]

Install went good. No issues. Can get pics if you want but nothing fancy is required. It might be a little high as I had to bend the engine cover slightly to get it back on. No big deal.

G'day all, just resurrecting this thread. One of these arrived with my gauges this morning, was curious as to what it was. So simply put, this eliminates any welding/drilling into intercooler etc, and simply bolts on for the boost probe?

I just fitted new tigged IC and forgot to plug in boost sensor , so thinking that's doing nothing,
The piece woud make any install of boost very neat, well thought out

[threedogs]

Do you have link ? Very interested

Rumcajs, Could you explain what you mean by split it ti work with Dawes?

Think he means if only running a boost gauge this is perfect,
but also if Fitting NADS you could TEE into it to pick up the DAWES valve.
Makes sense
Edit The more I look at this product and the price I think it could be made for
the price of the 3mm brass hose barb. I'll give it a shot and see what I come up with.

[Hodge]

Cheers for the photos meh. Just curious, how accurate would these be since they're plugged in close to the outlet side of the IC. Isn't the norm to go as close to the inlet as possible ?? I may be wrong.

[Limmy]

I teed mine to use with Dawes and boost gauge

works a treat . Just make sure you don't tighten the plastic cover to tightly . may crack the plastic cover ( as the boost sensor will sit higher )

[meh]

Boost readings seem to be along the lines as others on the site. Never had an issue with it

that intercooler looks excellent heavy duty quality

[threedogs]

@ limmy heres pic,funny how both have blue silicon hose, spooky really
also Meh do you think a gasket of some description or a smear of RTV would seal it better it is after all boost.?

[Limmy]

Any performance gains after refurbished intercooler TD ? Lower egt ?

[meh]

TD. I didnt put anything on and it has been fine. I suppose as long as the rubber washer is in good nick

Limmy. Performance wise, car seems to run alot nicer, no lag sensations with less boost spiking but Im comparing to my old leaking intercooler. EGT's have been slightly lower although mine are usually under 200-275 around town and between 250-340 on the highway with the odd spike to 400 on an incline

[threedogs]

EGTs are consistently lower, economy improved as well. Very happy highly recommonend
