i'm having trouble figuring out how you connect that nylon tube to the gauge. I have a brass piece that screws to the gauge and some lil cylinder inbetween but it doesn't really tighten down. Is there something I'm missing? i'll try and take pics of the parts i have...

you should have a little ebad loking thing that goes around the nylon tube. first slide the tube through the thread then that bead and have a little extra tubeing going through. then thighten down the threads. when you do that it pinches the bead and makes it air tight.

okay so the bead goes between the two metal pieces and then you tighten it. cool thanks.

BTW that bead is called a ferrule fitting

nice. so i take it once you tighten it you need a new bead if you take it apart? oh i mean ferrule fitting?

yup pretty much. your gauge shoulkd come with 2 one for each end of the line.

in therory its reuseable, just dont over tighten it

uh i only have one. for the other side (vacuum line splice), they gave me a universal T and some rubber hose to connect the tube to the T. It fits snug but seems like it needs a clamp or something.

when your actually boosting i reccommend you get a golden eagle vaccum box. it makes everything cleaner and really easy to work with. rather than haveing like 5 diffrent T's.

cool ya i was thinking that cause there's also the emanage pressure sensor to hook up. Any link to buy it?

i got mine off a memebr but im pretty sure you can get one off ebay, or from golden eagle. they run like $100. its basically just a box that you tap into your main vaccume line and then thread in the diffrent vaccume lines you need.
