Default Found my boost leak!

I was making only 4 to 5 lbs of boost otherwise the car ran fine. Looked over everything but could find nothing wrong. Went to Tracktime Performance for some help and the car had NO codes...but the hose that goes to the Fuel pressure regulator had a long split in it. That is the hose that I tapped for my boost gauge. Twice that plastic Tee I used has broken...now the hose itself has split.

Plenty of trouble from that one spot....I will have to look there first next time. And I am looking for a metal Tee for that gauge!

Do most of the OTS kits (AWE, APR) come with a plastic T?

The plastic T is for the boost guage and has nothing to do with an OTS kit

I'm confused. I'm talking about the boost guage kits from AWE and APR. They don't come with that?

Default sounded like you were talking about stage 3 kits

my boost gauge came with a plastic T from awe with metal inserts (to keep it from buzzing)

ahhh. I just meant the kit and not some DIY boost gauge install. Good to know.

Default brass metal T from Ace Hardware ~$2

plastic only broke due to my own actions

how does a leak in a vacuum line effect the peak turbo pressure output?
