ok dudes more updating...today this morning i didnt have my cell so i couldnt contact any of my friends to come down and help me today.... and so im all alone....first i really wanted to concentrate on my boost gauge because i only bought the gauge all by its self without the tubing and everything else for 50.....so on with the search for my tubing....a couple of days ago i went to napa auto parts and tried to find the tubing there....they said they didnt have it but they did find the fitting stuff i needed to put the tubing in the gauge...after that ,today i went to checkers to find my pcv that i broke....luckly they had it in stock so i got that and i also bought a thicker hose for my boost controller,my bov, and also my external wastegate...ok then i went searching for the tubing for my boost gauge so i went to ace hardware and no luck there but this guy that worked there told me to go to car quest because they should have what im looking for....so i drove all the way to wailuku industrial and come to find out that they changed there name AND they are located in kahului.(sorry for those whos never been to maui) so i drove all the way back town and found this big white building and it was an auto store....at the end of the store was a sign that said TUBING REPAIR....jack pot!! i found what the place....so i went in and showed my gauge and they brought out the tubing that was the right size and everything...i bought 10 feet of tubing all for only 75....cents!....ok now i went to Lowes and made my three sided tee nipple to plug in the vacuum line....i went home and time for work...i cut one of my vacuum lines then put the tee in between...then i attached the small tubing for my gauge on and ran it through my fender....then i attached it to the tee and all was good....next i needed wires for my light on my gauge so i went to radio shack and got that fixed...i also atached my power to the fuse that connects to my parking lights so that the light only goes on when i make that click to turn on the parking lights.....that was all success full....while i still had time in my hands i decided to connect to tubing for my manual boost controller....since my mbc is mounted in the front i couldnt find a vacuum line close by and then BOOM i looked at my turbo and a fitting was already attached to the turbo outlet....i saw that before because my friend had his external wastegate line attached to it and he told me that it was a vacuum line too! so i took the fitting out of the turbo outlet because i have a nipple fitting that was included with my mbc.....i checked the two sizes and WALLA what do you know...they both same....so i swaped fittings to the nipple....then i attached the line and connected it to the mbc....success.....so far so good....oh yah i also put teflon on all fittings to the oil lines to prevent any leaks.....allright dudes thats it for more up dating to come....shoots!
