The intake snail that is on top of the inatke manifold and wraps back into a bowl shape under the turbo. Right inside where it makes the turn on the flat area should be a square fitting looking metal piece unscrew it screw in boost fitting with line finish hooking up and your golden. Also be very careful when running the boost hose through the dash and so on not to get it pinched or you will read low or no boost.

OK - I was poking around in that area, what sort of boost/vacuum would you expect to see, I think I read something about 12 psi or so..
