Ah, so you did send that rabbit down the hole. Very encouraging that you had +ve pressure.
Thinking of doing the same but on the coldside.
Have to dig my own hole unfortunately. Not particularly keen on losing a foglight either. :lol:

I suppose I could re-seal it again and hook up a boost monitor to the datalogger. Would be interesting to prove how much airflow there is at speed from the foglight. It's much less proven than the firewall CAI method which isn't available to our ABS cars. I'll have a look to see if I can find an appropriate cheap sensor, could re-use it for the turbo.

use ANY map sensor and just a datalogger set to 0-5v and compare still ambient engine off voltage to driving at speed in neutral voltage. wont tell you psi like I can but it will tell you relative pressures.
