Boost Gauge Prob

[kleicl]

Hey.

Iv got a small prroblem with vacuum line of my gauges...

the boost gauge it is a manual gauge with a vacuum line now when i brought the car the lights on the gauge were not working,,. but the gauge was working well... what i did was connect up all the wires to make the gauge lite up and in the prosess i bugged the vacuum line in the back of the gauge now by taking a look i see that there is a nipple crimped on to the line so when you tighten the line on to the back of the gauge it pulls shut.. but the line had a crack about 4mm from the connection in to the back so the vacuum was ecaping and not givving me a true reading..

what should i do

1 source a nother cable or crimp a nipple on the the end..

2 Wait a while till when i get a automatic boost control then that will tell me the boost running ( but not actual boost or is it)

Just buy an new manual gauge..

or what can you sugest

thanx

hard to make sense of all that, but if its just the rubber vacuum hose thats broken just go up n buy another meter of it at your local auto store and any other connections you might need, ive replaced all mine as they go hard and crack

sorry mate didnt make my self clear.. umm all the tubing in the engine bay is a ok. its just the rear of the gauge where there is a special lug that is crimped on the the tube to make it leak proof i think it is also nylon tube. it looks like spaghetti,

thanx for that mate ill have a look arround
