Default Turbo Guys.. Boost Gauge ?

I tried to search this but came up with no results... hooking up my boost gauge and obviously i need to tap into the manifold somewhere past the T-body but looking for some ideas on where you guys tapped into and how you did it to get your readings??

Still running the truck intake? There is a port on the passenger side towards the top of the intake, plastic engine cover will be covering view. There is a plastic tab cover the port that will need to be removed in order to use.

it's a nipple with a tab on it. CAREFULLY break off the tab and it makes a nipple with a hole. put your line on that and tee off as needed.

I had a vacuum manifold made that goes inline with the brake booster hose and has 4 ports in it.

I would just tee the line when needed, a lot cleaner look can be achieved.
