What kind of T-fitting did you use for the Boost Gauge?

I called up my local car parts shop and they only have them in plastic. Will that work with the brass Autometer adapter or should I find some place that has brass ones?

I've got an Autometer gauge and am using a plastic fitting.

Then again, my vacuum has always shown as low - maybe I'll try a brass fitting and see what I get.

Which hose did you put the t-fitting on? I put it on the hose going to the Hobbs switch. Is that ok?

Better to go off the manifold - T into the hose right behind the TB - there are 2 ports right there to tap into.

I circled it in the pic (The pic is of the MEVI, but the ports are in the same place)
