Default vacuum hose, what i got

i got 1/8" windshield wiper fluid hose for the boost gauge
1/4" fuel line for the wastegate
3/16" fuel line for the bov

what do you guys think?

im still trying to figure out how to hook up this 1/8" hose to the gauge itself. the gauge is obviously 1/8" npt male so where can i find a 1/8" female x hose nipple fitting?

as long as the hose doesnt collapse under vacuum it should be fine.

depends if the silicone is thick or thin walled. thicker = better.

i assume that your gague has an MALE 1/8 npt threaded fitting?

get a female 1/8 NPT fitting with a male barbed end (any . then plug thet end into your hose.
