    I had to take my boost gauge out of the car for a little while and that crappy brass ferrule that compresses to form the seal inside the fitting broke.

    does anyone know where I can find a spare one??? It is such a tiny cheap part and it sucks cause I have a boost leak now.

    Here is what it looks like.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    90% of those brass fittings are actually brake line fittings.
    that one is part of a compression fitting. i got one for a friend at a well equipped napa down in northfield a couple years ago.

    looks like a basic plumbing part. unless its some wierd size you should be able to get one at a hardware store or home depot, ect. just ask where the brass compression fittings are, and bring along a chunk of the tube if you can, so you can test fit it.
    oh and yah autoparts stores probably have it too.
