Default Vacuum Hose

The vac hose otop of the intake is really fraying and is exposed....is this an esay fix/under warranty? if not..should i take advantage of the moment and install a boost gauge off the hose now?

Yea thats a super easy fix. That hose if its the one i am thinking about is on the front side of the intake mani and goes toward the passanger side, that hose runs all the way to the top of the DV. It can be fixed for like $10 at the most. Replace it with silicone hose. I think you only need like 3 feet of tubing, and if it is this line that is bad this is the line you would wanna tap into for a boost gauge. Some people tap into the FPR line but if i wanted to get a boost leak i don't wanna get one at the FPR.
