Hey guys just installing my egr block off and now I need I a needle valve to complete my Dawes setup can I just use a turbo boost t or is there a difference

If so where do I buy a needle valve around blacktown and also where and how do tap into the cooler piping to get boost signal for my gauge and the Dawes setup?

Need to know ASAP as I don't want to blow my rig up

You can't as standard boost controllers leak off the boost at predetermined pressure. Needle valve bleeds vacuum constantly at set rate.

Possible setup for Dawes and boost gauge Tee off.

The other option is like this --> quick fit boost gauge adapter (http://www.extremelimitsoffroad.com.au/pods-gauges/gauge-accessories/quick-fit-boost-gauge-adapter-nissan-patrol-zd30.html) also search on Ebay for it.

Just wait till you have the lot and fit it all at once , its good to get it sorted ASAP but I'm sure another week won't make or break.

You can go to "hydraulic place" and get what is called flow control(regulator) valve e.g. you can get one from Pirtek, I think its model DV-4 or DV-6. Just explain you need fine flow control/regulator valve with barbed fittings to suit.
