    What vacuum line do I use for a manual boost gauge on a 2004 GTP?

    Yup, and on both our GTP's I tapped into it between the LIM and MAP so it's nice and hidden in the back.

    I think on his it would be BBV>LIM>MAP>MAP since they have no FPR (returnless fuel system) and two MAP sensors.

    So, cutting the stock vac line between the MAP sensor and the LIM is the best place? I was thinking of maybe switching out the 90* rubber connector that goes to the MAP with a T and running the line to the gauge that way. I just bought a new vac line assembly when I done the LIM gaskets and I would rather not cut into it. If my idea would not work, than just get a rubber T and cut the line and put it inline and run a plastic vac line to the gauge?

    any place is good most people like it there because it is hidden out of sight, i hooked mine up last night and just ran a T and took of that 90 that you are talking about and i haven't had any problems yet

    Nice. That is what I wanted to hear. Did you run a hard plastic line for the boost gauge?

    i put an extra T fitting on the MAP sensor input and continued the line into my car. realistically you can do it anywhere. i ran a soft rubber line and it works just fine.
