    you can either tap it into the hose coming off the BPV (BOV), or you can tap it into the hose coming off the intake manifold. IIRC it is on the front passenger side.

    hope that helps

    does your gauge show vacuum, or just boost?

    nicad Yes I am a troll

    any vacuum line post turbo. easiest spot is the top of the bypass valve, just put a T in there and call it a day. this is where the factory boost gauge taps into IIRC

    either that or right at the fuel pressure regulator you can tie in a T.
