Default ATTN: JOHHNY BRAVO......boost gauge questions!

which t- fitting should i get? the plastic or the brass? also, for the tubing which should i get? just about everyone goes with nylon, but stays away from rubbber.

lastly, looking at johnny bravo's site on the boost gauge install, would all the audi dealers be able to sell me the braided vacuum line for $1.50 per meter? i don't mind spending the extra few bucks for something i won't have to worry about. according to bravo, if he got the line for $1.50, then for 3meters it would be $4.50 huh. if i can't get my dealer to sell me the line for $1.50 per meter, and they decide to charge me $13.89,.... anyone know what dealer that would be willing to sell me the line for $1.50 per meter??? johnny??

The Fitting I used was:
the 3/16th x 3 white nylon from Pep boys.
I also used the 3/16th vacume line restrictor.

The Vac line at my dealer was listed under the wrong price for over a year. I thought i was lucky

But its still worth it, you need 2 meters @ 26.00. Ask them for a better price, they might be able to do something.

hope this helps, feel free to write: johnaudi@home.com

regards.
