ashbuster Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) hey guys when i come to install the blitz i color there is a metal t-piece that needs to be tapped into the boost gauge line. this is joined to a nylon pipe that runs to the controller and joins onto the back by a connector onto the short pipe on the back of the controller. hard to explain but if you have seen a blitz boost controller you will understand. the nylon pipe and connector and t-piece is missing, i think not many people use them and they link it another way and thats why these bits get lost. its not a problem because most of these controllers i have seen are sold without these so the must be a better way to join it without these would i be ok to run a 3mm silicone hose (vac hose) to this pipe on t he back of the controller and slide that nylon pipe inside it the nylon pipe is tiny but fits snug inside i was wondering if i would have a leak and if there was much vacuum here im sure alot of people have fitted these and had these bits missing i think they get installed without them any ideas? could i do what i said Edited March 9, 2012 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 anyone know if this would be ok or another way of doing it blitz want £30 for the special t-piece £10 for a plastic connector and £6 for a little nylon hose i think this is crazy so would like to find an alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Any vacuum silicone pipe and t piece will be ok. Just get the right size diamiter so it fits nice Look on ebay youl get a metre of hose and t piece for a fiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 hi mate ,the part in worried about is the nylon hose in the back of the controller the inside diameter must be about 1mm-2mm at the most would be hard getting a t-piece for it because the original tpiece doesnt go inside the hose it goes around it its hard to explain but the nylon hose goes inside the one end of the t-piece my problem is getting this nylon hose to join to my silicone hose which i will have a t-piece on the end i can slide the nylon hose inside the 3mm silicone hose and it fits nice and snug but would it leak? im new to this so not sure how strong the vacuum would be and if it would be enough to make it leak or if it would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) just replace the nylon hose with silicone? edit: you mean the nylon pipe is too small to replace isit? http://www.velocityfactor.net/prodimages/BlitzSBCBoostCont500.jpg Edited March 10, 2012 by Lude (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) hi mate the pieces i dont have are circled in red in this pic which is a nylon hose, a connector to connect the hose to the hose coming from the back of the controller, and the blitz t-piece ive circled in blue the hose from the back which i need to connect to some 3mm hose somehow, it does fit nice inside the hose but i dont know if it would be ok like that. most of these kits ive seen for sale 2nd hand have these bits missing too so i wondered how others fit it? i think these bits are usually kept on the car Edited March 10, 2012 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
