man,noones posted yet.. :cry:
im not really sure 'muhself :?: ,the old td's are easy,,look around a little,,i would think theres something with boost pressure you can tap into ,maybe remove part of the intake plumbing,so you could add a fitting,i built a tdi-m,and i ripped all that stuff off i cant remember,,the "real" tdi guys must have an "easy" spot to tap into... :idea:

The newer TDI's don't really have any convenient small hoses that are under boost pressure. The VNT is driven by vacuum and the boost pressure sensor is mounted directly in the intercooler pipe. One of these things might work -  http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-FTG-010&Category_Code=BCS

Or you can remove and drill and tap one of the plastic intercooler pipes to take a 1/8 pipe thread barb fitting.
