I'm currently in the process of relocating my mechanical boost gauge. It's currently above the ashtray and is going to the A pillar. I therefore have to double the length of hose as ill still be using the same hole drilled into engine bay. My question is, will the added length of hose affect the performance of the gauge?Cheers ________________________________________ |

either 3 or 4mm i believe, on mine rich then reduced it to a smaller harder pipe to run it through the engine bay, I've got some more 4mm bore stuff to join onto it and run it through the interior.don't know if doubling the bore size will affect the performance of the gauge though ________________________________________ |
