Default Boost gauge hookup

i have an autometer boost gauge. Can you guys give me the approx size of the tee you bought (brass or plastic) and where you got it from and what hose you cut into to read boost off of. I wanna go brake booster but i dont know where to find a tee that big that reduces that small. I have an ATI P1sc 7# kit. the line for the boost gauge is like 1/8" or less

I just did this mod and the size of the t(brass) is 1/8npt to hose fittings. The adapter from autometer is 1/8 npt as well, so it will fit fine (should have come with the gauge). I got mine from a local speed shop. Connect to brake booster or between TB and intake.

The brake booster hose is 1/2" ID FWIW. And yes it's a good place to grab the boost reference.
