Boost gauge help...

[europeanme]

After trying to establish what is needed for the GB gauge (cheers Si!!..)

I am struggling to find out what you need for this gauge...I understand it needs a tee piece and hose....but haven't a clue about what size is needed...

any info is really appreciated...thanks

wasn't one included?

If you have the hose that came with the boost gauge (if any did?) take this down to halfrauds as they sell t-pieces there and should be able to sort you out cheaply and easily (for a change)

3mm silicone hose or something similar and a 3mm 't'

nothing bar the gauge and the bulbs etc.....anyone changed the standard bulb for an LED??....if so which one would be best..

Thanks for the tip....as demon tweeks don't have a detailed run down on their kits.....

Sorry, been meaning to measure mine and PM you back but all I have done for the last 2 weeks is eat, sleep, work and watch the Olypics

I am using normal boost gauge tubing which has an OD of 6mm and an ID of 3mm. You need a couple of meters of that and a t-piece.

From what I have seen in various shops, this seems to be pretty standard size for mechanical tubing. So on the DT website, and of their kits will do, including their cheap kit which is just tubing and a T-piece without all the extra gauge connectors.

As for the bulb, as I posted in someone elses thread, I changed to an LED because of the current draw and heat of a bulb. The bulb is a standard 501 bulb so anything like this or this will do.
