Anyone know where on the blower I can tap into to get my boost pressure for a whipple?

I have a vortech on a 4.8, still cant find the place. Can anyone break it down for me like a small child or show me on this pic? Maybe draw an arrow on it. Thanks.

I don't have my truck right now, but i tapped into mine on the back right side. I see a T i think on the right side of the manifold on yours, but i can't tell exactly. I think that's where i tied into mine. I have an '00 without the electric throttle body, so I'm not sure if that's exactly right. Hopefully someone with pics will chime in.

Yeah that T is where I tried to tap in already. I only got vacuum out of it. I just got a new gauge and I can try it again tomorrow. Hopefully I can get something besides vaccum through it.

Hey Spoolin I saw you regular gauge cluster was blue. Did you change out the bulb or get new gauges?

SpoolinChevy

I got new bulbs and sockets. They're LED's.

You will find a nipple at the back of the intake manifold on the passenger side. The fitting has a plastic arm on either side of the nipple. You cut the end off the nipple (carefully) with a sharp knife and put your silicone vacuum hose on there.

In your pic you can see a flat platform attached to the top rear of the manifold and to the left of it the silver ring on the rear end of the fuel rail. The fitting in question is on the manifold between them.
