Hooking up a boost gague

Okay so I have my MBC hooked up and I'm now on my boost gague. The gauge came with a barbed T to hook it up to the lines. Do I hook it up to the hose from the Wastegate or Turbo?

If neither where do I hook it up.


Thanks in advance!

There are several places people may suggest. If you look at the left side of your intake manifold (psgr side) there are 2 small black hoses. The stock MR gauge pack is tapped into one of those. If you need a pic, I can go snap a quick one...

ok...gimme a sec. I gotta run out to the garage...it's super easy I promise. The biggest pita is running the hose through the firewall....make sure you use a grommet, or another piece of hose so it doesn't get a cut/slice in it....be right back..

Haha Thank you both very much! I found what you 2 were talking about. My gague came with this clear housing much smaller then the vaccum hosing. Do I even need that or do I just get new vaccum hosing. I'm using an auto meeter gague

As in, it's an additional hose to a boost/vacuum hose the gauge already came with? I'm thinking it's the one they supplied to hook up to your car.

Start off with the mbc all the way "unscrewed". Least ammount of boost. You will probably still boost 12lbs. That's wastegate pressure. Then in controlled increments, like 3 or 4 turns at a time. Up the boost to your prior settings.
