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.

yall nigas dumb!
All you need is a 1/8 female barb fitting.Screw the female barb to the end of the suplied threaded connector and use a piece of ruber vacume hose to go from the t to the brass barb.thast what I did and it looks clean.

If my attention span lets me walk myself through those instructions I'll give it another shot. :P__________________

aha! all of you are dumb asses including me (except for 90acrex1), this is what you need, it has a very small opening in one end for the supplied hard vacuum line from your boost gauge, like he said, you totally ditch the brass fitting in the engine bay and slide the hose right into this, the other end is big enough for a regular size t! it's called a 'soft vacuum connector' and the size i have pictured is perfect!

Do they have that ---- at autozone? Or do they even know what they are? I might have to check it out. Because mine is hella ghetto with bunch of electrical tape wrap around my vacuum hose to my intake manifold nipple. Thanks for the heads up. And how much did the soft vacuum connector cost?
