Hi guys.

I was installing vent gauge, and i did something wrong.



I was trying to pull it right before Y connector. That thing was pretty tight. I pulled harder and i broke the other side.

What do i do? Somebody please help me.

Thanks in advance!


and is it safe to drive?

(I just sent a pm to rix)

just get a new T splitter (at any auto parts store) and switch the broken one out..no its not safe to drive like that you will be leaking boost

Thank you for you reply.

As mentioned, just get a new T or Y adapater at an autoparts store. Use a 5/32 inch fittings.

You can use the T that came in the vent gauge kit to replace the Y and get you back to stock until you get a replacement.

Happened to me too. Here is oem p/n if you want to put it back to stock (thx Rick!) but autozone T worked fine in the interim. BTW , if I recall correctly that part was about $8.

I were in the same situation as you when i installed a boost gauge. Because i couldn't find a autostore near me, i drove the car about 50km til the dealer. There should be no problem at all, and you wont have any limps as long as you are pressing the gas pedal very gently and stable. No boost rising -> no leak!!!
If you try to remove again the t connections use some kind of oil in spray because it is really dificult to remove it without.

Yea.. I just put the tee from autozone half way for easy removal. The oem one from tischer is like $5. I will check local dealer to see if they have it in stock or i will order from tischer. Thanks guys for the help.
