Best place to install the boost gauge line?

Mitsubishi Delica L400 production commenced in 1994 -- After much anticipation, the L400 arrived on Canadian Soil in 2009!

What size of spring clamp is used for the 1/8" turbo line? When I got my supplies from RONA I was stumped when it came to the spring clamps because I have never bought new ones before (and only used the screw kind in other applications). The spring clamps I saw quoted the OD of the pipe, but I don't have calipers to measure the OD of the turbo line.
I think I confused myself again between 2 different threads...

Is the line from the turbo to the IP 1/8" ID or 1/4" ID? I haven't cut it yet, but I bought 1/8" barbed connectors for that part of the T... :shock:

I found the easiest place to pop through the firewall is on the rubber boot around the steering column, make a small slit with a knife, pass your wires through, and shoe goo or silicone it shut. Its by far the most accessible.
