boost gauge hook up

Where do I tee in under the hood for the boost gauge. The '05 6.0 have a boost gauge in the dash, but I have a gauge that reads higher. I am unsure where to hook it up. Pictures are worth a 1000 words.

P.S. I looked in the stickies and in the tech folders. I think the Gauge installs should be in the stickies or the tech folder. Thanks

Really nice pictures of A-pillar installation (including the senders and the boost T) can be found at

if you drill and tap in your intake elbow it will give you the best possible reading because that is right before it goes into the engine...make sure you take it off first and that when you are done there is no shavings or anything in the when you put it back on...thats where i did mine at and it works well...if your dealer gives you any hassle about having a gauge in there the elbow is only li 30 dollars anyway so you can just get a new one if it is going to be ther difference between them paying and you paying...just a thought

Thanks all for the responses. I cut the hose to the map sensor? And it reads as accurate as the boost gauge in the dash. So I am pleased with out come.
