Default 7Lbs of boost in the mail...need some help

My TRD supercharger will be installed on tuesday Aug. 1st. I am also buying the Stewart Warner boost gauge from 42 Draft Designs (deal with VeeDubs). Here is the link to the tubing kit they supply; http://www.42draftdesigns.com/product/42150851.htm

Does this seem like it will work? I'm not sure of the gauge of the tubing. It works on Subarus, VeeDubs, Lancers, and Audis. Any input would be appreciated.

I can't wait to be BOOSTD Hah.

Boost gauge is a boost gauge. Just make sure not to kink that tubing when running it through the firewall.

Get the Stewart Warner 30"-15psi boost gauge with the tubing kit and a (color of your choice) 194 LED bulb.


That's the exact boost gauge i'm going to be getting when i boost in late september. All these 20psi and 30psi gauges are just excess.

It really sucks having to wait, doesn't it? But you know it will be worth it in the end. Have fun with your new purchase
