DIY Boost Gauge - Help needed

[graymank]

Help!

I am trying a DIY install a Boost gauge.
('cos the BMP kit is out of my budget)
So I am back to having to install a gauge on my own.

Where do I put in the T-joint to tap the pressure to the sensor?

I see the vaccuum hose going into the Throttle body, but not sure if that the coorect place to tap.
Seems quite far away from manifold itself?

Anyone have any idea?
Would really appreciate your advice!

I don't believe that there is anywhere to put the t-joint in... if I remember correctly, that one is probably for a turbo system that has small boost lines (silicon tubes) that you can tap to get a boost reading, Our MCS needs to have a sender mounter on the intake to read boost and vacuum. So I'm not sure that will work.

Supercharger is postivie displacement so you'll need to tap in somewhere after the supercharger. I havent installed one so I can't say for sure but I think i remember reading its somewhere on or near the intercooler inlet pipe?
