boost gauge install

Got this image from HyperM3's DIY. Is this the best method to tap into for boost? |

actually NO...
sorry man the best is to have metal clamps. I've worked with plastic ties long enough to know sun,temp change , excessive heat will cause these to fail. go to the hardware store and grab a couple of clamps. ppp

I am also confused about where to tap into the boost line. I have seen other methods that use a 4 way splitter.
I wish we had a DIY that was a little more clear of how people have done this with pictures showing how they ran the tubing into the cabin. Potty_Pants: can you show me what type of metal clamp you are talking about? Thanks! |

He means like this.
I just liked zipties cus they are easy, cheap and accessible. Plus they are not supposed to last me that long since its a lease and Ill be taking it all apart within a couple years.

the stock vacuum t's have no zip ties or metal ties, they are just friction fiit because of the little lip on the T... its a pain to pull those suckers off
I think duplicating the stock method of just a properly sized T is sufficient I will be doing a DIY as I write my install instructions for my guage pod kit... (which includes everything you need) |
