Where can I take a vacuum from for my MFA clocks on a 1.8t conversion?

Cheers, Skipp

I am running a pedal box. So there is no vacuum from the end of the inlet any more. All simplification mods have been done so all I have is the 2 small 4mm outlets under the inlet. 1 to the FPR and the other to the diverted valve/boost gauge.

either of those should be fine to T into tbh :)

That's handy then. I will just T it from the back of the boost gauge. Thank you

I must be a bit thick, as you say you need a vacuum point, but you are boosted, so surely most of the time there will be no vacuum. Perhaps you could explain it to me, seriously.

most of the time there will be vacuum, as you only boost under load ;)

Sorry to ask this (read should know!)
I've pretty much finished putting a MK2 dash into my 20vT conversion with just the speedo to connect, what does the vacuum do :oHaynes doesn't say :ocf_emoticons__icon_redface:I've read that people aren't using it, do I need it?

I've found the info I was after, cheers to Michael's from his 2007 post.
