boost gauge question?

my line going from the spider to the boost gauge is 1/8'' poly tubing. it is very britttle and stiff. EASY to break. is there another type of tubing you can use that will not become hard and brittle.

I used Copper instead of the nylon tubing as the nylon wanted to kink everytime I tried to run it up the A-pillar.

It was pretty easy not to king the copper. Just remember to use a pencil or somethign round to bend it over.
