AEM 3.5 bar sensor

Okay, this might be a dumb question but here goes. Where do you install the AEM 3.5 bar MAP sensor? I'm looking for something to datalog boost but don't have any immediate plans to buy the AEM EMS. This sensor is one of the possibilites but I don't understand where it would go. I know that it is a metal threaded sensor and doesn't get pressure from a vacuum hose like the GM sensor, so I assume it has to screw in somewhere. My main question is if it is designed to replace an OEM part or if it can be installed as an ad-on piece. Pics would be great if you have 'em.

Sigh... why is it that you can't find what you're looking for until *after* you ask? Anyway, I found this here on evom. I'm still not sure if it replaces anything, but I know where to look.

I know the AEM sensor is 1/8-27 NPT, but can anyone tell me where to get the tee used in the link above? I'm a bit clueless here, is it a standard part and what size is the thread going into the manifold?

We use a brass fitting from the hardware store to adapt the AEM map sensors to a normal vacuume line. It's a 1/8" female pipe thread on one end. the other end is 1/8" male hose barb. Any auto shop should have it.
