I took the pressure reading off the line from the intake manifold to the FPR. I used a short piece of vacuum hose (4cm), a T piece (from an irrigation system) and then connected the line to the FPR to one arm and a line to the pressure sensor to the other.

Wow! That's a whole lot of connectors. Where do they all go?

The Comptech is a bit different. With the Vortech you retain the stock FPR but put the Vortech FMU downstream to block the fuel return and hence increase fuel pressure. We remove the stock FPR and route a line from the fuel rail, the vacuum and return to the Comptech adjustable FPR. In LHD it's routed back behind the master cylinder and over near the fuse box. On mine I routed forward and mounted the FPR on a modified bracket using the bolt hole on the front crossmember that used to old the stock air box.

So where I have one arm of the T-piece heading towards the front of the engine you guys would orient differently to suit the position of your sensor.

One goes to the FMU. One goes to the BOV on the Chargecooler and the last one goes to the boost gauge.
