Default Boost guage installation question....

Okay, so the boost guage did not come with a tee.....

The teeny nylon tube coming from the boost guage is 1/8". What size is the vaccuum hose that I'll be tapping into?

I don't have the car here, but I want to gather the parts I need to make the tee.

Default you should be able to get a boost gauge install kit at a local parts store...

I lost a fitting for mine during the install and the local Advance Auto parts had a boost gauge install kit that had all the fittings you need. Did your gauge come with the compression fittings for the nylon tube and the barb for tapping into the line? I can't remember what size the T was that came with my gauge but it was a perfect fit for the line I tapped into. It was one that ran off the intake manifold and under the main engine cover.

Default 4mm ID

I have an AWE-Tuning boost gage that I'm installing this weekend. The plastic Y-connect broke and so I ordered 5 (min order per package) from McMaster-Carr; therefore, I have 4 extra ones if you need one.
