53883, Boost Gauge plastic hose line broke! Help!
Posted by freddy_00_69, Aug-12-03 04:53 AM
I was trying to tightmy turbo xs mbc and the clear line that is connected to the nipple to read the boost on the gauge broke off. Do i need a new boost gauge or can i buy something else for it. I need it soon, i can't read boost on my gauge, it was set at 5psi but you never know with my car.

You don't need a whole new gauge. Just remove/cut the broken part off the nipple and shove the hose back on.
