Anyone found something they've had good luck with? Pulled the dual A-pillar pod off to start the triple pod install and found out why my boost gauge wasn't reading boost except under high RPM - turns out that hose was pinched between the back of the trim and the pinch weld.

Has anyone found a replacement that works well? I'm afraid a standard vac line is going to be too big to run up the pillar without pinching or cutting flow at some point. I've seen something about silicone hose but the info I've found past that has been scarce.

You can get those hard line hose at napa. :thumbsup:


:thumbsup:
Napa had a universal gauge install kit with the same nylon line that came with the gauge. Picked one up and it looks like it'll work. Now to keep from pinching this one off...

I was trying to avoid going to the copper hardline. Last owner used that to hack in a temporary oil pressure gauge that's just sitting on the dash and after working with that I'm not sure how badly I want to try to run copper hardline up the A-pillar.
