Mark,
forget the smooth copper tube, get a barbed brass connector for a garden hose 
instead. I am stressing the word "barbed" here. Oh, and don't forget to use the 
constant torque clamps. I am stressing the words "constant torque". All of which 
could be found at www.mcmaster.com.

Failing that you will be blowing off this little hose with a loud POP! under full 
boost in a 3 bar car. In the most embarrassing situations I might add. Like for 
example overtaking a determined 2.7tt S4. Go ahead, ask me how I know this.
