I have just bought an Autometer Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite boost gauge Autometer gauge

I know where I need to hook up the vacuum line to the intake manifold, see attached pic.

My question is; How do I plug the vacuum line that comes with the autometer gauge into the where the stock boost line goes? The Autometer vacuum line is smaller thaan the stock vacuum line. I have an RS-4S Stagea so it has the factory triple gauge setup in the stereo surround.

Cheers,

Adam

either get a fitting that will downsize from your current vac hose, to smaller vac hose and connect to the intake manifold, or get a smaller piece of vac hose, slip it over the intake manifold nipple, then slip your bigger vac hose, over the top of that and clamp off.

otherwise you could just stick the bigger vac hose on there, and squash the guts out of it when you clamp it off...

I got aa kit from autobarn slacks creek today, should have it installed tuesday night, I have to work 2m nite at work so can't do the install then. Beers this arvo probably counts me out of doing anything install wise tonight lol.

I used a piece of 3mm.rubber tubbing(bosst presure isn't that much to snap it),just use about 50 mm. @ 20 goes on the nipple and insert the plastic line inside the rest (there are some pics. from when I installed my boost controller,they may help you in your install...) I'm a cheap ass ,I know ; but it worked for me...

    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
    • From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man. 
    • Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)
    • If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.
