Default Aftermarket boost gauge install ? (non AWE) no supplied T

Ok bought an autozone boost gauge while I was there, $20. Managed to get wiring done and hose run. This is the problem, THERE is no supplied T valve with this gauge. Having thought of that I bought a pack of assorted sizes of T gauge.
OK so question one: does anyone know what size t fitting I will need to split the FPR clotch covered hose. I haven't cut into it yet and I want to make sure I have the right size T
Bgger prob/?: The kit isnt meant to have the boost line go straight onto a T. It is an extremely small gauge of tubing. Instead it comes with metal adapters to screw into an intake mani for boost. I need a way to connect the T fitting to a metal adapter that is then attached to the tubing. Doable?
The best solution would be if I could find a T with two ends the correct size for the FPR hose and the third leg sticking out to be very small but I dought they would make a T with such different sized openings.
BAD DRAWING

Upon thinking about it I think Ill try to just get a brass T, adapter and barb adapters to screw it together. I just really need to know the inside diameter of the FPR line Im sposeda cut. Good idea?
Also please limit suggestions of new gauge as much as possible.
Thanks

you need a t-fitting with the brass reducers... otherwise the gauge will buzz... go to purems.com and order one.... or from awe...

After goin to home depot I can get everything I need if someone can just tell me what size the T-fitting barbs need to be. (inside diameter of FPR hose). If anyone has a chance to glance and give me a good guess on size I appriciate it.
