Don't forget to throw some quality zip ties over the barbs at either ends.  Tubes (especially silicone) get pretty slippery with a little oil on them.  If the tubes are likely to be near exhaust, put some heat sleeving around those portions (e.g. http://www.sleeve-tech.com/) and zip tie that too so it won't slide around.

Suggestions from my rotary car experience!

I used high temp silicon, because the exhaust heat was melting the nylon tubing that I used.

Hi Joe
Ive used a silicon hose. Its flexible enough to stretch over larger barbs i have on the inlet manifold, yet its snug with the MAP sensor barbs on our EC2. It also has significant wall thickness so as not to collapse under high vacuum.
I only ran one line ’t’ off inside the cabin to feed both EC MAP sensors and a Dynon MAP sensor.

Cheers

What kind of tubing is everyone using for the manifold pressure connection to the EC-3?

Thanks for any help
