Where can I bought a T-fitting?

I recently got my Autometer Boost Gauge and it is said that I need to get a T-fitting that can tap into the Fuel Pressure Regulator line. The actual tubing that goes from the gauge to the T-fitting is only 1/8". And also I need a connector that goes from the T-fitting to the nylon tube.

Where can I get a T-fitting like that? I tried Pepboys but they didn't have it.

Try home depot in the sprinkler section. They sell them for the microtube irrigation system, 1/8th and 1/4th inch sizes.

Thanks, I will go look there.......But do you know how do I connect the 1/8" nylon tubing to the T- connector? What else do I need?

Fuel pressure regulator line is not a good idea. You boost will go to zero at WOT. I relocated mine to the hose going into the intake mainfold from the BOV.

It will goto zero at WOT?? My gauge has vacuum as well so maybe its a bad idea to tap into the fuel pressure regulator line?

Can anyone confirm to use the BOV line?

I used the line going to the fuel pressure regulator and my boost reading does not register zero at WOT. In fact, it works perfectly there.
