Thanks again. I have been studying the diagram. I realise now that i need a T piece to connect the Boost guage and the valve from the intercooler pipe. Off to Pirtek again.

Ok the kit is all fitted (right i hope ) Chaz talks about setup on his excellent website and says to start the car and while it idles adjust the needle valve until the actuator arm comes off its stop then wind it back half turn or something like that. i dont know if i'm looking at the right thing but it doesnt seem to move. can any body help?

I didn't worry about that so much, I just adjusted mine till I got it about right by my books.. Just takes a little bit of time and adjusting to get it right.. I set my dawes valve and then drove at 100km's an hour and played with the needle valve till the boost sat where I wanted it to

How did you set the dawes valve? I have pretty much left it as it came. Unfortunately it was loose, so i guess it could have moved.

I just drove at 100km/h and watched where the boost stopped rising at.. mine is set for 17psi max..
Screwing valve in with make boost higher, screwing out will make boost lower

Ok Very short drive. Hardly any boost and high EGTs (had to back off and come home) it didnt matter where the needle valve was set.
HELP

Ok I would be screwing the dawes valve in a couple of turns and trying that, sounds like dawes is open to far
