Default C5 Boost gauge hook up questions

Hi,
I cut and connected the nylon tee into the brake booster hose area . It’s not a great fit . Before I button it up I wanted to get your thoughts on this .

Thx "]https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.corvetteforum.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/img_0204_33d603e7dbec0a2d6daad073e354635 87b61019c.jpeg[/img]

Thanks! Some rain pressured me, but I put on metal hose clamps because the hose on that "tee" is huge. I was hoping for a larger tee, but I could not find one at the Autometer website or the Auto parts store. I hope it doesn't affect readings.
