However the time to replace the instrument bulbs came and I was checking the turbo gauge as well - It moved proprely with the air/pressure feed from a bicycle pump. Then I realised the there was a very sharp bend on the feeder tube,,, on the hassle / connectors above the break pedals (with the y-connectors etc.). Once I cut the bend away (the tube was already de-formed flat) the gauge started to work ok... Just as my 2 cents,,, always the problem is not a big one ;-) SuoTimo
