    The line has to see vacuum and boost.

    So run it off the the line going from the BS-FPR-under the snout-MAP.

    I poked a small hole at the top of the steering shaft boot on the drivers side and ran it up the fire wall that way. This is for my oil pressure gauge though, I dont have a boost gauge. Works fine for me lol.

    Where the stock oil pressure dummy light switch is on the oil filter housing. Used the sending unit with the gauge I bought.

    Personally I would never use a mechanical gauge, what if the line broke, oil everywhere.
