boost gauge install

My son got glow shift gauges and we will be installing them soon, the question is where is the best place to tap in to the intake manifold?

I think Most TEE Off the Map Sensor Line

Or some do itt at the 90* Intake Elbow



But if there is ever a Drivability Problem you will have to use the OBDII Port and check the MAP/EBP sensors So for that reason I am Not a Big Fan of AfterMarket Gauges

Right at the intake elbow is where I did mine.

The factory boost gauge and MAP are not entirely accurate with the SRL tunes BTW.
