Boost Guage hose breaks

[TDaub]

I installed the connector for my boost gauge in the top of the intake and now the hose crimps and breaks at the connector. Does anybody make a rigid line that can be used, or incorporated to relieve the pressure on that bend. Or do I have to retap the inake on the side.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I have to go the Home Depot anyway.

What size tubing do you use? The smallest fitting I could find was for 1/4", I'm using 1/8" tubing.

Most of them use 1/8 tubing and compression fittings.

NAPA has the 1/8" 90's in stock most of the time.



If you over thighten the fitting the ferrell will cut the line also.

I always forget about NAPA. THey always seem to have the stuff that nobody else has.
