Re: Vacuum port DIA needed.

I used a 3/16" fitting then used my pocket knife to shave down the hose
(scratching with the blade NOT cutting) until the fitting fit. Works well,
but takes a while. 

I installed an Autometer undamped gauge. It doesn't really bounce other
than at 19psi - which is likely due to the wastegate opening.
