Hmm, with this being said and all, how do most of you guys hook up your boost gauges? I run the white/clear nylon tubing all the way into the engine bay. And the I T it off the FPR vacuum line. But I have to use rubber vacuum hose on that T. So I've always just cut a small length of rubber hose, then just put some hairspray, or some sort of sticky adhesive on the outside of the clear tube, slid it into the rubber hose, and use a couple zipties on it. That's my ghetto coupler! I've used that method on all my cars because I guess I don't know a better way. What does everyone else do?

Plastic hose from gauge to engine bay. Slide very tight rubber tubing over plastic hose and then just plug it into the intake manifold port. I didnt use any zip ties, just found small enough rubber tubing to fit snugly onto the plastic hose. I used plastic tees if I needed to branch off to the wastegate or whatnot.

Yeah I have always done it just like Brandon as well. I just use the nylon tubing totally. Thats the best way to go in my opinion. The intake manifold is probably the most accurate.
