I have an autometer gauge with the nylon T-d to the back of the intake. The fitting (see pic) that goes from the nylon to the T is rotted and cracked. It leaks air and is only 3 years old or so.

Talking about the black piece by the brass fitting and T

you should be able to buy those fittings at any auto parts store. They will be by the vacuum fittings and such.

Autozone has 'em for sure. If you can't find one let me know and I'll mail you some I've got.

I figured I would have to put the same thing on. I don't like how it only last a few years though.

Yeah, thats kinda weak but it IS a cheap and easy part to replace..

Mine is about 4 years old.. (maybe it is leaking though lol.. I think I have a minor vacuum leak cause I'm only pulling about 12" at idle)

My elevation makes me pull alot less vacuum than you guys though

My vacuum used to be 17 but now its 15. Started doing a boost leak test yesterday and heard it leaking. Guess this could be the problem.
