So in yellow is where I teed in. Initially i teed after the grey check valve to the left in the picture but it was just giving me vacuum and no positive pressure. I believe this line comes from the throttle body but i have no idea where it goes to. And no the power is the same as before i...

Hi everyone, need some help with a boost gauge I hooked up to my C180 Komp sport coupe. The reading wasn't what I was expecting does anyone know what I have done wrong? I teed into the vacuum line coming from the intake just before the check valve. I get a vacuum reading at idle but then when...

Its not undeclared tho as I have told them it has been modified? What do you suggest I do? send them pictures of what I have done, would that work?

Oh was under the impression I had to wait till the last month my existing mot to get a retest? and thank you I guess I will try and mount them in a similar place, won't be able to mount them on the new bonnet tho

Just had my cars mot today (took a while longer as I didnt realise you had to wait for the last one to expire to get a new one) and very surprisingly the car passed with no problems or advisories, did have to adjust the headlights as they were not aligned correctly but apart from that everything...
