Boost Gauge Hook-up

[Jenna2003]

Kaygee08 and I are installing a Boost Gauge where would we be able to find a T fitting to hook into the vaccuum line?
He/We are one of the new beta testers and he asked me to post this for him since he doesn't have the internet at home. Thanks!

You local parts store should carry different sizes of plastic T fittings. Best place to put the T is close to the throttle body (for 96-98, not sure about 99+) Might want to take that vacuum line that runs behind the alternator with you to the store to make sure you get a T that fits snug.

I went to 3 different places(autozone,Napa, & home depot) Nobody has a t fitting to fit the adaptor that came w/ the gauge. Anybody have any Ideas?

My autometer boost gauge ame w/ nylon tubing and a compression fitting to put on that turbing. I belive the tubing is 1/8" and the compression fitting clamps onto the 1/8" tubing on one side and converts to 1/8" male pipe threads on the other side. What I did was just put the male pipe threads into a hose that was seeing vacuum and put a clamp on it so that it wouldn't blow off. Idealy you're supposed to drill and tap a hole in your intake manifold and then screw the fitting into that, but I didn't want to do that. You might be able to find some 1/8" diameter vacuum hose, t-off from something else and just but the bare boost gauge tubing into that, but it might try and work its way out. You can find those compression fittings I'm talking about at home depot. Just go to where they have all the brass fittings and ask for a 1/8" compression fitting to a 1/8" male pipe thread, if you want to go that route. Might be a good idea to take the tubing with you to make sure it's actually 1/8". Hope some of this helps.
