my only recomendation to you, and i storngly suggest you adhere to it. BUY A 42DD Boost guage tubing kit.

i got an autometer boost guage (sport comp 2) matches our interior lighting and guages perfect. the T was of poor construction and the tubing was of even poorer construction. Expect it to leak, break, fall off the T. Trust me it was a pain in the @ss. after a lot of silicone, urathane superglue, and other ret@rded attempts to fix it, i decided to spend the 12$ and get a proper tubing kit with a nice T section.

maybe it was just me, but this is my experience

Yes you are right about AM guages and the crap kit that comes with it. I like AM and have always used their gauges. I run the sport comp as well..great match for the stock cluster.A cheaper solution is NAPA....nice thick-walled vac hose (thisstuff won't kink like the hard nylon tubing) and a Tee and you are set.....cost about $5, if that.
