Get the smallest hard brakelines you can find at your local autoparts store. They bend by hand. Going into the turbo if you find a fitting going from brakeline end to ntp, lots of times, there is a nice restriction built right in. Worked for me.

instead of the plastic line, they make hard line for gauges as well and this is available at any autoparts store. I, personally, wouldn't skimp on something thats already fairly cheap

I welcome the challenge. You wouldn't be the first to think you can, but you'd be the first to actually try it.

The key word would be "half". You'd have to have way too much money to lose on every sale and alot of hatred towards me to want to waste that kind of money.

Now, I could definately be undersold. It would take buying every piece in bulk right off the bat, finding great suppliers the first time, shipping tons of product and answering lots of emails, all while being paid less than the bun toaster at McDonalds. It could happen, but I've never met anyone that dumb with a couple thousand dollars willing to try it. ;D

Lol, I wasn't saying I could do it. I guess I meant more in terms of me buying parts for me, I just didn't tally up the costs for the fittings, since I didn't exactly use the same setup. I didn't mean to start any fires :P I also know that a business has to make money, has overhead costs, etc - there's a reason companys have a rather large markup, yet don't make huge profits. And to be totally honest, I still have all my other 'get rich quick' schemes to iron out first. >:D

Its just another something to save money on for the DIY'ers.

E-b0la: are you saying you got a cheap gauge and bspt/npt fitting at walmart? Was it from one of the super-walmarts?

I didn't take offense. Send some of those get rich quick schemes my way. >:D

if you want all the pieces u need in a nice hard to mess up kit go stealthmode

if you want to piece together your own same quality kit with firewall T and get a nice gauge out of it for the same price go mcmaster $35 lines/ebay drain $13 /local auto parts store equus gauge with block fitting $18
