So I bought used a boost guage and normally they come with 6 feet of tubing... however, this was all I got (what a dick right)...



So I was thinking about replacing the hard plastic tubing anyways with some silicone tubing (since i have about 40 feet anyways) but I there's a small metal piece that holds the tubing in after you screw the cap on that I can't seem to get it off, then of course I have no clue how I would get it back on the new hose anyways.



Also, I can't really find vacuum line that small anyways, the only piece that small I have is in my 3 way connector (that will run to my EBC). This piece is almost small enough, but once again, no clue how I would get the metal back on, and i do need slightly smaller, this is 2.5 and I think I need something like 2 anyways, which i can't find (hose techniques doesn't have it anyways).



Through my searches I did find this solution, but i'd rather not do this....



I know a new in the box autometer boost guage comes with 6 feet of tubing, however I can't find any place to buy just the tubing. I would settle for using that tubing to a coupler then vacuum line into my 3 way connector (still need to find more of this small vacuum line though) (the stock tubing is to small to fit into my 3 way), however i'd like to minimize the couplers if possible, but if i have to settle for that I will.

any ideas?

 

remove the brass deal that hose clamps in and replace it with a barbed hose fitting


(they come in male and female pic just for reference)


get some regular ol' vacuum hose and voila

 

how does the barbed hose fitting keep the line on? zip tie it on? clamp it?

 

the barbs keep it on.

you can clamp it on if you want tho

 

they sell that plastic hose and fittings at autozone...

 

this was the solution i came up with... went to ace hardware...



got this adapter that fit on the boost guage with a barb hose fitting.

then I got this T...


only thing is that it's kinda big. but it's metal which won't allow opportunities for failure like plastic and will run 4mm silicone vacuum line for it.

 

What level is your paladin?

 

lol how'd you know it's a pally? and 80.

 

Cause I play WoW also and I have a prot/ret pally at 80, recognized crusader aura and crusader strike.

 

server? i'm on agamagnan

 

nerds

 

Onyxia, and don't hate Zlover....I have a really busy and aggravating job most days and WoW helps me unwind.

 

is that a pvp server? alliance or horde?

 

It is a PVP server and I am horde.

 

lol

 

i completely forgot i was on zdriver when i saw that computer monitor

i got the same autometer gauge, but it came with the 6 feet of tubing, did you buy it at an auto parts store?

 

It was meant ironically (for those in the Z32 forums who know my reputation)... you're talking to someone who has a degree in mathematics and lots of background in computer science. But I don't do RPG's... no time for that when I'm researching Stochastic processes or Modern Analysis, etc.

 

we hang out on the interwebs were all nerds in one way or another

nerdy **** is what makes cars go fast too, thermodynamics, CFD, engineering, math, physics, ect.

 

how populated is your server? mine's really low and i'm looking for one to go to that has at least someone i know on it with more than like, 3 decent horde guilds...

I got mine used, it came with a pod, read my very first post.....

 

ours is a low pop server, but we have lots of great guilds on it, mine does 25 man raids regularly, and 10 mans every other night. You are more than welcome to join my guild if you want.

 

oh we do 25 man raids and 10 mans... but i'm definatly not wanting to go to another low pop server. i hate the one i'm on.
