oh, 4th, are you sure those are not 1/4 id lines? or is the vacuum hose for your cruise control really 3/4"?


I've got a 6gal tank mounted in the aluminum tool box cross the bed. Adjacent to it is the pump. 3/8ths ID line runs from there to the engine bay where at the side of the batt, it tee's into two 1/4" ID lines. ;)


The CoolerMist controller is pretty-much the same but uses a steel tit. I got the boost reference signal from the wastegate supply line right off the compressor housing. I used run of the mill 1/4" ID fuel line (at that small of an ID, the tube is very strong). :)

i gotcha...

was thinking about 3/8 supply line, ya kn0w, from tank to pump

but i dont even have the 220 pump...mine is the 150 psi

they say you can get a longer set screw and bottom the regulator out and it will produce 190 psi

i say they send me the 220 i should have got in the first place



are you saying your controller has a 1/4 hose barb stickin out of it?

or are there female threads so i could screw a AN fitting into it?

Yes the CoolingMist VariCool has a barb sticking out of the controller, I just teed off of my boost line that was already in the cab.

Here is a link to help you picture it. http://www.coolingmist.net/techdocs/vari-cool.pdf The tubing is 1/4" OD 3/16" ID That is what I have going to my boost gauge 1/4" high pressure class 8 truck air line.

nice, thanks

think you could remove that barb and install a AN fitting on there?

I seriously doubt it, the threads are only 10-32 SAE read machine screw thread.

k...thnx

still not thrilled about the line going into my controller

specially now, now that the head is coming off and 50 or more psi is not out of the question

i hate it when stuff falls apart

(or gets blown apart...lol)
