was wondering if anyone has a good idea or a hint of advice what I could use for vacuum hose, I am a bit short with a boost and air/fuel gauge, so all it does is light up:) ...thanks

Doesn't it cost less than $1 per foot at every auto parts store?

You can get pretty colored tubing at roadraceengineering.com They have nice kits on their site.

How about vacuum hose? Go to the auto parts store.

Do you need the really thin nylon tube type or tubing the size of regular vacuum line? The hardware store probably won't carry the nylon tube type that is really thin.

talking about the white nylon shit that bends and brakes to easy? That same tubing that comes with the boost gauge. Go get some Vac lines from the auto parts store. Take in a sample of the size you want. And they will hook you up. You be alot happyer with the vac line over the nylon crap.

So you need to extend your vacuum tubing? I had to do something similar to reduce the size on one end, they sell little plastic things to connect tubes if you absolutely have to go that route. But I'd just buy a new one to cover the entire length if I were you.

Hardware stores do sell couplers that work pretty well, but I agree with slowboy. Just replace the whole length.
