I thought I'd make this quick how-to on making a permanent fix to the T fitting connecting the vacuum/ capillary tubing going from the bypass valve to your boost gauge inside the car. My specific gauge that I have is an Auto meter 30 PSI Pro comp. I experienced failure with the plastic, and rubber connections associated from the Lamco /auto meter parts to connect everything together out of the box originally. It's pretty self explanatory with the part's, and how to put everything together. I now have no more boost loss, and everything runs as it should.

Place of purchase for parts: Home Depot, and Advance Auto Parts.

Process: The main part is the T block that puts everything together. I used two 1/4" barb fittings to connect the by pass valve vacuum hose securely to the T block. On the third port I used an adapter, and a compression fitting with Ferrel to secure the capillary tubing connecting the line going to my boost gauge. Please refer to the pictures for a part's listing, and pictures of the completed project. The time this project took me was forty minutes..

EDIT: Make sure you use Teflon tape, or Teflon sealant to ensure you have a good, tight seal on your item's being assembled.
