When they installed my gauge, they removed the upper IC pipe, drilled & tapped it on the bottom and installed it there. It's pretty neat, as you can't see where it hooks in. I have an Autometer Pro-lite. According to it I'm making 21-22 psi @ peak boost. You can also hear the pressure increase and decrease from the gauge, sounds pretty cool too!
okay now I'm confused! the 42 draft design install on the home page of this site states to do it coming from the BPV line going to the intake manifold, which is in between the manifold and valve cover on the far right next to the throttle body! Another guy says to do it from the line that directly connects to the FPR and solenoid on the far left! most people say to do it from the intake manifold to the solenoid which is in between the far left and the far right but leaning towards the left side! WHAT THA hell man.....i needa install my boost gauge and I'm going mad trying to understand where to stick it. someone please clarify where the heck the FACTORY boost line is tapped into????? PLEASSEEE so that everyone's head can clear up!

My guage was also checked and confirmed accurate when I got street tuned so the BOV line is a good place.
