    This has been the biggest problem I have ran into with my gtp, installing the boost gauge. Dont get me wrong the actual install part is easy, but finding all the little vacuum adapters is really pi$$ing me off. I hear of all these guys saying they got their "t"'s or fittings from NAPA, My NAPA here in sapulpa must suck! I have been to Oreilys, autozone,ace hardware and advance auto parts none of these stores carry the parts I need grrrrr!
    I did find a brass T fitting so I installed it and guess what now I am not getting anywhere close to full boost! Last place in town to check is Lock supply, someone anyone who has had this problem please help, this is ridiculous that it takes this long to install this thing! HELP!

    Have you asked about plastic vacuum T's at the store? IDK if you have an advance auto parts, but I got mine there. The manufacturer was a company called HELP. I used plastic T's and rubber hose to make mine work.

    Looked online as well? Shipping sucks, but if it suit you better.... why not?

    ^^Good job..
    I was right with ya though.. went to 11 auto shops.. they had nothing like it..went to the dealer ship, and dammed to hell if the guy didnt hand me a platic T and some hose and showed me how to rig one up.
    Gave it to me for free...but on the way out he said "Dont worry, we'll get ya next time"
    Bastards.......
