Hey guys,

I just got an autometer boost gauge and was looking to buy parts for it. I want to use brass barb fittings but most fittings in my size are either nylon or plastic...most likely plastic. Would it be ok to use plastic barb tees and the same hose like the vac hose for the fpr or windshield wiper hoses? Or should I be using the 1/8 inch nylon hose that comes with the gauge and brass fittings? I only plan to run about 12 psi or less. Just want to make sure those rubber hoses aren't going to blow or the plastic fittings to blow under boost.

Thanks,

Michael

i wouldnt use the plastic stuff use the brass fittings buy it once and forget about it use the vacuum rubber lines from any parts store u can use the barbed fitting on the gauge or the regular brass fitting without barb and just zip tie the rubber line or use the small hose clamp
