Try a local motor factors for small bore pipe, most sell pipe in various sizes of the roll.
btw Don’t forget the all important fine straw shoved up the pipe to stop the boost gauge from flickering.

Exactly right! Use an old straw from a wd40 can or an old jet from a carb (obviously make sure its size makes it not possible to be sucked or blown into the manifold tho)

how long does it need to be?
and does the straw go into the boost guage end or inlet manifold end?

It just needs to be a restriction in the pipe so an inch or so will do.
I’ve always fitted mine at the manifold end - but it prob won’t matter.
Btw You can use a tiny clamp on the pipe instead if that is easier (does the same thing)
