What is the cleanest,cheapest, and easiest way to Tee off a line for a boost gauge. My autometer didn't come with one so is there something like a "T" design that is threaded on one of the ends and has push on hose fittings on the other 2 ends.

For my autometer boost guage i bought a metal fitting with a nipple on one end and hooked it up to a hose, then used that hose and a plastic T an teed off of my fpr. I got the metal fitting at a hardware store.

So basically like this: (below) With a plastic "T" fitting?

I drilled and tapped a 1/8" NPT fitting into the manifold plenum and connected the nylon tube to that via the compression fitting. No tee needed and clean install. Shoved an oily rag in the plenum first and a shop vac hose on high to catch all the drill bits. No problems at all.

just use the fittings the first guy said to attach to gauge, then use plastic tee from autozone or whatever and tap into you cruise control vacuum line.

Dont drill into manifold, I can forsee only having leaks or something more problematic to deal with. I wouldn't drill anything into manifold.
