boost gauge help
As I was installing my new gauges I ended up cracking the nylon tubing for my boost gauge as I pulled it through the firewall. Can I just get some 1/8 inch hose and run it to where my other tubing broke and attach it with brass fittings? Thanks for your help!

I'm probably going to get some gauges in the next couple of months - pre-pyrometer, boost, and tranny. I guess I should expect to buy some REAL hoses for the pyrometer and boost before I put them on.

Are any of you using air line stiffners with the 1/8 line? If where did you find it? I found them for 1/4 line but not for 1/8 line.

anyone else with a 94-97 have a problem finding a T fitting to put your boost gauge in? I put mine to the map line or whatever it is and its 1/4" i think so i had to put a piece of hose on the third part of the T fitting and rig it up to make it work. Do they make a 1/4" on the straight ends with a smaller third end?
