Boost Question

Post by Brewster Minton »

Put boost gauges in for lp6 yannies and the question is, do I need to put copper tube comming out of the fitting tapped in on the engine or can I put the plastic tube strait to the fitting without it melting?

I used the plastic. No problems so far.

I've used both, only problem with the plastic is it can get pinched, but so can copper. I've also run the lines from the turbo to the gauges, now from the intake fitting, didn't see much difference.
