boost gauge leak?

[crimsondragon]

i was testing out my boost gauge the other day by blowing into it and it actually leaks. it'a an autometer by the way. is this standard? it seems to be leaking a lot too. i can't pinpoint it exactly either but it seems to be leaking within the gauge itself. is this normal?

No. It is not normal.

crimsondragon, I have already asked you to use proper caps in your other thread, please comply, I'll not ask you again. KiNg MaRtY, please use punctuations when posting in tech sections.

To answer your question, no it's not normal to leak at the gauge.

You should get the nylon hose. There is a ring that the hose goes into and then goes into the gauge. The ring could be at the edge of the hose not letting it seal right.
