<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/25882/vdo_boost_gauge_004.jpg"></center><p>I received my boost gauge today, and decided to take Jenners advice and buy the needed hardware at home depot (doing tomorrow morning).. This is what I received in the box, just wanted to check and make sure I got everything since there isn't a checklist nor instructions (good thing for AW and VW Vortex).. So for my list of goodies needed for the install I have:
1-T connector measuring 3/16" for the FPR lines and 1/8" (long part of T) for the line going to the gauge..
1 piece 12" long 1/8" hose (inside diameter) line from long part of T to gauge
4 metal clips to secure the hoses
14 gauge wire..
brass fittings to connect hose to the boost gauge
I plan on taking detailed pictures tomorrow incase anyone is interested in a step by step guide.. Now I just need to start building a pod to hold this thing..

you say the kit had only 12 in of tube supplied you will need at least 3 ft
rubber tubing withstands the engine heat better than nylon and is more flexible
I used a straight barbed fitting off the back of the gauge and the rubber tubing pushes on snug and tight to get a good vacuum seal
