Okie Dokie. I've done an exhaustive search on this in here and I cannot find any write ups.
Does anyone have an install write up for a Vacuum/Boost Gauge or at least can point me in the right direction?
Thank you very much! - j

What kind of write-up do you need?

More than likely, just where I need to "T" into a vac line. I'm not too sure where to do that.
Thank you so much! - j

I tapped a vacuum line on the plenum right behind the throttle body. It's a line that faces rearward. That might not be the best place to go, but it seems to be working well for me. Maybe others will chime in with a better location.

you can put the T in one of the vaccum hoses that are hooked up to the EGR or at the Fuel regulator press sensor(located on passenger side fuel rail)

Like they said, best to do it as close to the source as possible. If you tap a line behind the vacuum distribution point, you'll find the gauge will stay in vacuum because there are one way valves in there.

Guspech750 used this type of hook up for his boost gauge.

It's as direct to the boost as you can get.
It works, works quite well and adds a little different look.
