installing autometer mechanical boost guage....and tripple pod ????
how did you guys hook it into the existing line??? The tube and compression fitting holds a like 1/16 line. Any idea's???
Also i got the autometer tripple pod, how do you guys run your wires and fasten the pod to the a-pillar?? I removed the handle and the cover just staps on, but if the pod is attached, no way those clips will hold, plus when the pod is up against the piller cover, there isn't enough space between the two to run the lines.

there's a fitting under the dash that you can use a y pipe on and get the boost reading off of. basically sit in yout seat and look under the dash just a little to the right on the wheel and you should see it. Its going to take some rig work but that way the stock one works still too. 
with the autometer you have the cut the heck out of it and then glue the two a pillars together for it to work. thats what I did and its ok.
I'm going to get a low tek one again cause I don't like the way it looks. its a bad design from autometer.

I just took off the stock pillar. Plenty of room then. There are bolt holes that you could use. I wanted a cleaner look. So I used silicone to hold the pillar in place. No problems at all. This is on an 02 so the top needed to be trimmed a little. I just held the stock under the new pillar and drew a line. Then I cut and sanded it. Looks factory.
I think that I used a 7/64" T fitting and removed the existing elbow (use soapy water to put back on). I also tested my gauge connections for leeks. I had the compression fitting on a little angle. Leaked. So I used the spare.
No leaks.
Removing the other pillar gave me enough room to use a plastic cover over all of the wires.
