    I have a boost gauge and the line to run back into the engine bay. The problem being that I don't have the little T adapter that goes in the line coming off the intercooler.

    My questions are:

    a)what size is this connector(the stock one that goes with the subaru gauges)
    b)where do I get this? I tried finding an appropriately sized one at autozone, but couldn't quite find the size I needed, thus I'm assuming I have the wrong size.

    go to petsmart and buy the metal T they have for sale, it is the perfect size for air pumps and is in bronze color. I think the brand is called Top Fin.

    That sounds like it would be too small. I got one that seemed to fit the line to the gauge fine, but it was too small for the line coming off the intercooler. Thus I'm trying to determine the stock sizing to see if I have some wrong parts somewhere.

    Autozone sells a white plastic one that has multiple diameter outlets on it. Meaning that you cut it to size. I'd go see if you can find one of those.

    yeah, tried that but they didn't quite have an optimal size so it wouldn't flow correctly. It's also wayy to big so I don't even think I could get that to fit in that hose.

    sounds like you're in my boat...bought the gauges without the senders. I'm just going to try and get in contact with the manufacturer, hopefully they can help me out. Granted, I'm missing a little more than the fitting...

    any idea what size this is? I need 1/4", 1/4", 1/8"... or something very close. Problem being no one seems to sell this size and I have no idea how to make this work otherwise.
