    Need help with tapping into my vacuum line for boost gauge!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I bought a used boost gauge and the t-fitting that came with it is too small to tap into the vacuum line. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I just want to go to an auto parts store to buy the pieces that I need. Ordering online will take too long and I'll never get it by this weekend. TIA

    Will it work? I need one that will tap into the vacuum line and reduce down for the boost gauge line. Does anyone know the size of the vacuum line?

    Someone makes a solid rubber piece that you can clamp on the end of the intake manifold so you do not have a bunch of hoses and clamps. Damned if I can find it right now, but you can avoid this...

    you need the "Audi FSI T-Fitting Kit" or the "Audi FSI Boost Gauge Tubing Kit"

    You can also find some instructions on the same site.
