so, i just love my boost gauge....nifty little thing that tells me how much foot i have in the aCC:D i am seeing boost readings up to 30 psi...i also have the PPE boost valve

anyway....my boost is tapped into the hose between the turbo and the wastegate, and i have aproblem every time i REALLY put my foot into it....the freekin tube gets blown out of the connector, rendering no reading for the boost gauge

can i just slap some crazy glue on the tube? what can be done?


thanks

I had the same problem. I take it you are running a nylon line? If so, I went to my local auto parts store and got another brass compression fitting like the one on the back of the gauge and used a brass block with barbed ends to replace the "hokey" T fitting that I got with mine. Works great now! I can take a picture of it if you need.
