Default Installing Boost Gauge in Lo-Tek

Ok I've searched the archives but couldn't find anything. I'm about to do this but I was wondering where you guys routed the vacuum line. Did you go under the carpet? Behind the dash? TIA.

I did mine behind the dash. Then from the center console, under the carpet to the passenger footwell.

Argh I'm having trouble finding any places that carry the 1/8" NPT to 7/64" vacuum adapter... any suggestions? I've tried Autozone & Pepboys but neither had a small enough barb for the tubing!

rhesus,
I tied into the line from the KLR at the passenger's foot-well with a brass T and ferrule fittings. If you can find an industrial piping supply they will have what you need or they can tell of a supply house that does!

Yep, I have the T already... I was looking for the connection that goes from the gauge itself to the vacuum line.

Thanks
