Ok, I need to find out how to adapt the line going to the gauge to my nitrous system. In other words I need a t fitting that I can splice two lines of, one going to the gauge, one going to my outgoing nitrous line and one coming from the bottle. So i need to know where you got the fitting and pics are apreciated. Thanx

When your in the Lancaster area let me know & you can see how I have mine set up. Depends if you need a 4AN fitting or a 6AN Jegs parts 741-17830 or 741-17835 should be correct.

its 4an.....actually I got to thinking...it would be ten times easier for me and cheaper if I could just run my gauge off the bottle, then I would not have to purchase expensive braided steel line

also, my problem is that I have a 2 5/8" gauge which will not fit at the bottle...so im pretty much screwed i guess, gotta get a new gauge and stuff
 
Yeah the braiding is a little pricey...depending on where you put the gauge, you're looking a 4 to 6 feet of it. I kinda like having the gauge where I can see it, instead of on the bottle. That way I can keep an eye on pressure without having to pop the trunk.

What's with all the braided hose? Aren't there guage kits available that use a pressure sending unit to an electric guage?

You only need the sending unit when using an electrical gauge (mine's mechanical) or if your mounting the gauge inside the paassenger compartment of the car(I believe it's only required for fuel pressure though). You still need steel braided hose to run to the sending unit. So you'd still have to by the Braided hose & then the sending unit.
