how to connect auto meter boost vacuum hose?? *UPDATED AGAIN WITH INSTALL !!*
NEW PICS AT BOTTOM....
how the hell do you connect the supplied end that auto meter gives you for a boost gauge to a regular vacumm line or reg t?? it's a brass fitting and i have it kind of connected to a universal 'trim to fit' t and sealed with duct tape :P

I'm also having the same problem. I was thinking about t-ing the fuel pressure regulator line, then use a little piece of hose and slide it over the boost gauge line and zip tying over it.

yeah, i was kind of thinking the same thing, like get some thick vacuum hose like used on the brake booster, but that's still ghetto to me, auto meter sucks my ***.......

Go to pep boys or advanced auto, they have a little adapter that you can buy. It's a little black rubber thing thats in the same section where you got your tee. It's just a little black rubber piece that you stick the vaccum line in and connect the other end to the tee. You just throw away that brass ----.

If Pep boys or Auto Zone sells an actual fitting that connects direct, I would go for that. That brass setup is ghetto and I know you don't want any ghetto styles under your hood.

Re:how to connect auto meter boost vacuum hose??
on the back of my z6 intake manifold, i had an extra vacuum port for the purge solenoid, and i just put a piece of extra large ricer vacuum hose on it, and the plastic flex-o-hose that came with my boost gauge fit right inside of it. I'm boosting psi and it hasnt shot out or anything
