I purchased an ATM boost gauge. After mounting the gauge and ran the tube to the engine compartment, I realized that the gauge did not come with a T-fitting connector to tap into the pressure regulator. What size connector do I need? Where can I get the T-fitting connector?

I used a 1/8" T with some similar sized hose. Works like a champ. The fitting and hose can be had at any auto parts store.

Good Luck,

 

Parkrose hardware or HI-School pharmacy should have those Ts.

Btw, where did you buy the gauge, and where did you mount it? Pics would be cool.

 

Thank you for the suggestions! :smile:

I purchased the gauges from Summit Racing.
ATM-4301 Ultra-Lite boost/vacuum gauge

ATM-2204 mounting cup

I have 2 gauges, one on each side of the Tach. The mounting cups fit nicely on the small plastic holding the Tach. The only thing I didn't like was the sliver screws contrasting the black of the mounting cup. So I covered it with black screw caps (from license plate screw caps).

The silver face and the red illumination of the gauges match perfectly with MINI's OEM gauge.

There are several aftermarket mounting brackets specifically designed for MINI, but a bit costly, IMO. I figured I could make the ATM mounting cup works and it did.
