Default T-Fitting For Boost Gauge?

Ok so i was posting about this in a seperate thread but figured one by itself would help more.

So i have my roush boost gauge and went to put T-fitting in where it needs to go but the size of the line you run to the gauge from the T is alot smaller then the lines you need to tap into. So im trying to figure out what i can do to get this fixed or wtv you guys did to get it fixed.

If i have to buy a T then where can i get one that is able to run 2 diff sized lines

Almost any decent auto parts store will have a Universal "T" fitting. It has step-down sizes on each arm of the "T". For the 2 that install into the OEM hose, snip off all that is smaller than you want. Leave the 3rd/middle leg of the "T" as it comes out of the package. It will fit your line to the boost gauge.

Don't forget to install that little brass 'choke' into the gauge line. And also don't forget to insulate the clear plastic line to keep it fro melting near the engine or turbos.

Have fun!

I changed my clear line and bought some vacuum line thats black and insulated. But i would of never thought to put that brass choke from the original T to the universal.

Thank you once again. I will make sure to get back to you and let you know.

On my way to shop around now lol

If you don't, it's likely that the gauge's needle will "chatter" (bounce).

Ok well gauge is all hooked up. Only issue i had was i noticed the little brass fitting is not there in the connector the gauge comes with. So i just installed the universal fitting and gauge. Im just getting needle flutter.

Spoke to roush and i have a replacement one coming my way. So today got boost gauge and removed to tube to bov. Good day id say
