Default Hooking up the Boost line.....

Where on the charger would be the optimal spot to hook in the boost line going to the gauge?Any pics and or good directions (this hose connecting here which goes to there etc etc...) would be helpful.Thanks.

Need to know what kind of charger you have. Turbo? S/C? Dodge?

Yep I have a Maggy on an 03 5.3L .I have the PLX DM100 gauges.Im going to purchase a "tee" tomorrow and from the help of Trevor,go off the back of the manifold.Im curious as to why any supercharger doesn't have a nipple designated for boost only?9 times outve 10 people will use a boost gauge.And if they dont they can just plug it.Instead of having to modify hoses and buy extra pieces.Makes sense to me...

seems like a reasonable guess
