Sorry for the change in topic.... but curious as to where u got your dash mat from ??

Gday fellas.Could some one who has installed a Boost gauge in their Puma, please advise where they installed the bBoost gauge tubing?i.e via a T piece or a penetrator?Could you include a photo?Thank you, and best wishes.KenFlickr258AB1D7-5A54-4BA3-A87F-F921D0DA519C by [URL="https://www.aulro.com/afvb/"[url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/61462717@N07/"]

I have not done this to a puma, but have installed on a number of other cars.
Tee piece is easy, but I'm not aware of any boost signal vac/pressure lines on this engine.
Best bet long term would be to drill and tap a hole and fit a hose barb (usually screws in via a NPT thread), then run the hose from there.
Options would be limited, but I'd be looking at the intake manifold (plastic), the throttle body below it, or the intercooler.
You can also get fittings that slip in-line of a hose (ie the intercooler hose), but this would involve cutting said hose in half, use of more hose clamps, and more possible boost leak points.
There appears to be a MAP sensor on the intake manifold- if you have the option of an electronic boost gauge (not mechanical), then you'd already be 90% there.

My ultragauge reads boost pressure through the ECU along with heaps of other gauges available

IMO, nothing beats an analogue gauge for some applications. Easier to get an understanding of how a variable changes with time.
An old aviation trick is to twist the gauges in their pods so that all 'normal' operating conditions point in the same direction. That way an erroneous reading can be quickly identified. it also drives the OCD types bonkers.
