Boost gauge & gas smell
I just installed my SC & boost gauge on Saturday. Now, whenever I hit the throttle, I can smell a faint odor of gas coming from the boost gauge. I hooked it up in line with the FPR & the boost port according to the instructions, but I don't think I should be smelling gas. The connections seem tight so any suggestions are welcome.
Also, has anyone replaced the stock plastic tubing that came with the gauge with something more durable? The tubing and compression fittings like to kink and don't seem to be of the best quality.

I don't have a clue what the tubing connections look like on the boost gauge, but some Teflon tape on the fitting threads would give a good seal if its leaking from there.

Tighten the compression fitting on the rear of the gauge. You are not the first that this has happened to.
