AEM Digital Boost / where to put sensor?

Does anyone have the AEM Digital Boost Gauge? I'm not sure where to put the sensor being that there's no holes to screw it somewhere. Where's a safe place to put it? It can't just hang off the vacuum lines right?

You need a 1/8th FEMALE NPT to Hose Barb Fitting. Then cut the line that feed the from intake manifold to BOV add a T-Fitting to split the hose and run the hose to the sensor.

I understand what you're saying and i have the female part. I'm just wondering what's the best way to mount the sensor because I'm sure it's not ok to just leave the sensor hanging by the vacuum line right?

I have mine zip tied to the large vacuum hose going to the brake booster. It's close to the firewall so it's out of site and gives a clear path for the wires to go straight into the firewall grommet.

Not sure if you mean the solenoid, here is what I did with my from my truboost (on my old Evo). top left of the engine bay under the bar. It is zip tied. Granted it is an VIII and not and X but you get the idea

I like to see another location to run the wires to the engine bay without having to go through the fender.

You cant miss the main grommet. Stand in front of the car, look in the back to the right of the heatshield. It's huge. Just kind of hard to get to from the inside b/c its right behind the console.

Run through the fender, believe me, way better idea, was trying to find a way to do it otherwise and its not very feasibile, Ill post pix tomorrow of where I posted the sensor.

That's where i ran mine (the black wire). Easy...... no. I taped the wire to a coat hanger and had to bend the coat hanger a bit b/c as soon as it enters the grommet it has to turn toward the driver side. Once in, you can get in under the steering wheel reach behind the center console, find it, and pull it through. Not very easy or fun though lol.
