lines for boost gauge

ok, so lemme tell you a little story lol.....


well not a story, just my setup lol....

ok, so when i went and tried to hook up my boost guage, the stock plastic fpr line wouldnt fit into the 't' fitting i had. so i ripped that out of the little 90 deg nipple thingy, and stuck the boost gauge line into it. it doesnt fit right, so i had to use 2 zip ties to make it stay on there....lol.....so i guess im wondering what kinda lines you guys are using for the fpr 't' method of the boost gauge and fmu and all that stuff......thanks guys

small rubber vacume line fits nice and tight over the hard plastic line so you can cut a few small pieces of that and use a hard T fitting ment for that size line in place. from there you can cut another small piece and use it to go back to the hard boost guage line ( assuming its hard line). making sure you get acurate boost monitering is essential to tuning and any leaks will surely cause problems. good luck...

ive got the autometer electric boost gauge , and im using it the with the line it came with


but you can use rubber or the hard line , my guess is you used the wrong rubber line to go over the 1/8" plastic line that came with the gauge
