Your mom!!!! ;)






Looks good, My homodepot fitting thingy doesnt look like that other one, is much smaller and the Tee is round not square, makes it look better, but I did spend like $5 to do it. Damn......Now I know for the next gauge install, WRX.........

I ditched the nylon line entirely and used 1/8" barbs and Teed the FPR line with a plastic 1/8" Tee. I also used rubber vacuum line from the gauge to the T.

i too converted to rubber vacuum hoses...ace has all u need...

Re:how to connect auto meter boost vacuum hose?? *UPDATED W/ SOLUTION!!*
 

the best thing i saw was on a jrsc setup. it was what i guess would be called a mini-barb.it had just the right size barb on it to fit the boost guage line. anouther thing that should work(havent tried it yet,but should work) is these t's that are 1/4 " in and out but have a 1/8 "barb fitting on them. so u should be able to t into ur vac hoses and then go right into ur boost guage line.

omg you guys are putting too much thought into this (and money)...

the solution: take a 3inch or so piece of vacuum hose (can be stolen from the purge valves cuz you disconnected them anyway, right? :P) and your little nylon hose from the gauge...and stick the nylon hose INTO the rubber vacumm hose!!!! now stick it somewhere on the intake manifold or T... as an added precoution i like to put super glue on the nylon thing then stick it into the rubber vacuum hose...... you guys need pics of this write up :-*

the hose that is supplied is too small to seal inside of vacuum hose ;)
