What type of gauge is it. The Defi boost gauge I used to have had a much better way to connect it then my friends Autometer boost gauge.

It is probably the Autometer as Defi uses rubber material. The Autometer is supposed to come with a fitting to fit it, but your local hardware store should have something that will work.

Let this soak in for a minute...
How does the hose connect to the gauge itself? Probably with some rubber tubing. How about connecting the two nylon lines together with a small piece of tight fitting rubber hose?
