Default Tapping hard plastic line for boost gauge.

I just installed an after market boost guage. From what I have been told the best way to get a boost line connected to it is to "T" off of the hard plastic line from the DME or KLR (can't remember).

I have the Lindsey racing 5/32 blue vacuum line kit. How do I "T" off of the hard plastic one? I need a reducer, I think. How did others tap off this line???

suggestions?

thanks

I used a $1 rubber vacuum tee (7/64" I think) from my local NAPA store.

Here's a pretty good how-to.

The line is in the KLR, it's a clear plastic line going into the top of the KLR.
Cut the line in the middle, put a T connector in the two lines you cut, and the line coming from the boost gauge. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.
