Yep it’s not a thingy .................... it’s a thingie.
And mine doesn’t have one.

I think you'll get a better response if you use the correct term, it is a "thingamiejig"

[threedogs]

Its not a warranty thingy if its broken no warranty
Like the yellow paint on certain nuts and bolts

Looks like a #2 Phillips Head Screw to me... but what would I know...

(probably the sense line for a Boost Gauge that has been removed if it is where I think it is ... but don't tell Tuppa)

It might be a flighting. I had a machine come into my shop with this sticker, always wondered what it was;

61684

Oh seriously I think ET has nailed it. Looks like a blocked off sensor hole.

Oh I was hoping for that answer mate..............now I can remove it and shove something else in there

Yep just a reference line for a boost gauge that the previous owner has removed most like prior to selling.

Thanks everyone for your valuable input.....hahaha
Now for another question, when I install the boost and EGT gauges do I need to wire them up to power, as I have no idea how to?

Makka from our local WA club is pretty good with lectricks mate. Might be worth a PM.

EGT... Yes, but it is reasonably easy.
The thermocouple wires will be pre-terminated and go to their respective terminals sama sama power
If you want dimming the lighting -ve needs to be wired correctly (existing dash light or the dimmer itself) as the Patrol dimmer raises earth

Boost... IMHO get an analog gauge then all you need is to run the sense tube and then the lighting is sama sama the EGT gauge so can tee off that

I did not understand one bit of that ET, but thanks anyway mate 61690

... there was a Question....???

[Woof]

... there was a Question....???

Yes there was and I have discovered the answer.............it is 4, am I correct??

Maybe...
Depends on how many 2's you have.
If you only have one 2 then your 1/2 right.

Why would someone connect the boost gauge there rather than tee’d into the small hose which goes to the rear of the intercooler? (That’s where mine is ).
