Maybe there's a kink somewhere? The line on my autometer gauge is made of some plastic crap that kinks really easily under the dash.

i think i overtightend the fittings cause the stupid plastic line comes out on a angle and is not right looking like the other one...? i got a good idea tho If i were to take a 1 inch piece of rubber hose and slide it over the nylon boost gauge tube zip tie it on, than tear out the ferral fittings and hook up a 1/8" npt pipe fitting on the boost gauge in its place finally hooking up other end of rubber hose??? ( to minimize ballooning and closing under vac??)

hrm anyone else?

try usiN just the rubber hose instead of the nylon. i had the same prob when there were different kinds of lines. T connectors could also be the problem: check if they're clogged or use a different line from the mani.

really you think teh likes could be messed up maybe ill just Tee it temporarly to test it out cause the vac manifold seems like itd be a good source of boost/vac considering monster brake booster line connectd to it....

run nice silicon hose from the vacuum manifold and then just push the nylon mini tube into it and use a few zipties to hold it there, thats what i did and it works awesome. You dont have to worry about it kinking then and you can use like a 1 foot section of that stuff that comes with the guage

did u experience a problem before this.. well i kinda meesed up one of the ferrals soo i threaded a silicone hose onto the fittin in back of the gauge, ill try to use the old vaccum hose trick... where did u get silicon hose and how much u think it would cost??

Soccerking3000

yea i had a kink in mine and i was sick of it, i got the silicon hose forlike 40 cents a foot, its really cheap, works great now

Soccerking3000
