Morning guys, we need a measurement device fitted to a 5. Really need to measure at the LOWEST point, between turbo and the manifold, believe me there is a method to the madness....

Just to add I remember the cups had them plumbed into the manifold on one of the runners.

I'd have thought the lowest was the manifold itself, if you can't use that there is a port in the carb above the butterfly but below the venturi.

The aei feeds off the manifold throat outlet, or if you're not running the o.e breather setup, there's an outlet option there (where the breather nrv was).

The cars have to have a pressure gauge plumbed 'down stream of the turbo', to measure boost levels, on a shrader valve, much like a cyl compression guage.
We are trying to find the best place for it, taking into consideration possible boost spikes and worse case, a minor back fire into the manifold.
Ta, matt.
