the easiest way is to tap into the map sensor line. put your hand on the oil filler cap,move it straight towards the passenger fender, you will hit the map sensor(it has a wireing harness clipped to the front of it with three wires on it and has a 3/8" hose comming out the back)tap into the hose comming off the back of the sensor

Exclamation but

The guage i bought is mechanical, all it came with was some tubing and a T fitting, So all i have to do is cut the line in the MAP sensor and apply my t fitting and run the clear tubing to the back of the guage?

Yeah, if you are sure you are looking at the map sensor, the 3/8 hose exits to the right. Cut it, install the "T" fitting then run the small plastic tube to the gauge.
