F6 Boost Gauge Sender Unit?

Is that the the thing tapped into my cooler???? If I don't hook it up what are the consequences???

hey mate, I've just sussed out this sender recently with thread type etc, and TIG welded it to my new rapid systems cold side piping,

I had it disconnected for a week or so while my machinist mate made me up the stuff to attach it by with new setup, all that happens is your boost gauge reads max boost.

Its the boost gauge sender unit for your boost gauge. Its purely cosmetic really, unless you have an accurate gauge and you have to keep boost under a certain pressure but that shouldn't be the case.

Easiest way to reconnect (assuming your getting a new coller setup) is to weld a nut/ threadded boss with 1/4" BSP thread to your piping and connect it up again, or beTTER yet get the guys who your buying your equipment off (cooler setup) to insert gauge thread beforehand!

hope this helps mate!

Thanks Kevo, I thought that was the case. I am 50/50 on weather or not I shall hook it back up.

One more question...Is it possible to just add a T piece on a vacuum line and run the sensor from that? I'm asking this with out even looking at the unit.

yer sure, but at some point you will need to have the boost sender unit screwed into something, that something has to be metal thread too so pretty much back to the same drama in the first place.

I tried to think of how to go about it for ages too mate haha
