anyone know what size ID the wastegate line is that you tap into? so i can go out and get the right size tee piece.
or what size tee you used?
cheers.

You guys sure its 6mm? That's 1/4" - pretty big. That type of thing is usually 3-4mm or 1/8 - 3/16" on most applications. pull the hose off and put the vernier calipers on the barb to check. You can squeeze a smaller vacuum hose on a big barb but not a great idea to put a big hose on a small barb either.

Not the best measurement or photo, but this is an offcut of hose the same size as what's on my yd25 from the wastegate to the turbo housing... It is roughly 4mm ID, so a 6mm OD tee would fit in there nicely...

Yeah, ok. Dont want to split hairs or anything but that would be a 3/16 fitting. Ive used 1/4" fittings on 3/16 before though - its ok.

You're probably right. I'm sure the tee piece that came with my autometer gauge said it was 1/4", but that's going from memory of nearly 6 years ago now haha... It was a decently tight fit in the wastegate line without clamps, but I zip tied the ends on to the tee anyway just in case

awesome work, nah i havent fitted it, i yet got the EGT all done but ran out of time as usual.
fly back to work for 2 months now so itll be an after xmas job...
interestingly my autometer (lite?) didnt come with a tee.. just some brass threaded fittings and some cheapo tiny stiff boost line, so hence im scrapping that crap and going with some sturdier line and fittings.

I used the stiff boost line for mine, it's been fine. According to their online instruction manuals now, boost fittings don't have the tee anymore, they use a compression fitting which is probably why you didn't get one... If you'd rather use the fitting you got with the gauge, you could drill and tap into the intercooler near the cold side instead. If you haven't got a tap, an engineering shop should be able to do it fairly cheaply I'd imagine...

Looks good, if they are too bright at night, get a resistor put in the light supply wire or get a potentiometer wired in so you can adjust the brightness...

Ah OK cool. Mine were stupidly bright at night and not adjustable so I had to put a couple of resistors in the feed wire to dim them down a bit lol
