boost gauge nylon tubing

[Oliver M. Llenado]

I believe the tubings provided by autometer with their vacuum/boost gauge is
a nylon tubing, I got my gauge from eBay without the tubings so I was
wondering if I can use rubber tubings instead,.... Btw why do you think audi
uses a fabric covered hose?, I replaced my wastegate hoses with rubber only
vacuum hoses that I got from autozone & an lpg hose for the lower wastegate
from napa store.
