Boost gauge install question

Dark Slate Gray, spray something and make sure you like the match after it dries. 05069094AA Code XDV 5oz spray can.

I'm confused (this happens alot). You painted the pod Dark Slate Gray like the color of the dash? Isn't the A Pillar the lighter grey color like the headliner or is my car somehow different. Or did you also paint the passenger side so it would match (that might look cool).

Very sharp--yes we matched the dash color and also painted the passenger side to match, since we have been waiting for just about a year for someone to make it, we are going to CTF III and wanted it done now!. Everything is just a shade off. I knew we could match the color of the dash, not sure the color of the inside roof, looks very good, will try to get a daylight photo so that you can see the difference.

On painting the pod, I used Dupli-Color "VS 8 Medium Gray Vinyl." Perfect match. I bought the dual gauge pod from PT Tuning, who claims on their site that it matches. It does not. It's way too light, not even close.

Where is everyone finding the white plastic tee fitting for the Vac line??I have looked every where and can't find one..Someone said Home Depot,please let me know.......

Apparently Home Depot has scaled back on their stock. I looked for quite a while, and one of the sales persons volunteered that they had recently stopped carrying as large a selection as they once did.

I found some good fittings at Advanced Auto Parts, carrying the Vacu-tite! name and Dorman part numbers.

These should provide a straight-forward way to get the hard plastic tubing for the gauge into the 11/32" intake hose with very little plumbing.
