cdi dump valve help ?

[azzyc200]

Can I have a boost gauge or a dump valve in my c200 cdi

you can have a boost gauge but stay away from dump valves on diesels, they sound stupid IMO and aren't meant for them

I will add a boost gauge then ? Where can I feed vaccum from ? Also can I add water temp ?

Hopefully nowhere as you're meant to be measuring boost pressure.

You don't know what you are doing. Staying away from anything mechanical would be a good idea.
