Default Nye, same thing happened to me, use a regular plastic tee that you can get at any parts store but...

before you install it take the broken tee and snip off everything but the part with the restrictor in it. All that all you need is a plastic cylinder with the brass part inside. keep track of the orientation and shove that part an inch or so up into the hose leading to your boost gauge... now install your new plain-Jane tee and be done....

install the sensors yet?

Default Any auto parts store will have a vacuum T with restrictor.

You will need the restrictor on the AWE gauge or the needle will jump like crazy. I broke mine and got one from pepboys.
