boost gauge install question?

I am in the process of getting everything ready to get my gauges installed on my 96 PSD. The question I have is where do I need to T into the map sensor line at? I am not sure which line is the map sensor line if someone has a good picture of where to install the T it would be much appreciated. Thanks for any help.

This was from a thread I started asking some of the same questions you are asking. The great 1997F-350 provided this info for me. As you can see from his pic, the MAP sensor is located on the passenger side, right under the cowl and the line goes from the sensor to the passenger side intake.

parts used:
1. 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 "t"
2. 1/4 x 1/8 "t"
3. 1/8 x 1/8 soft elbow "t"
4. 3" section of 1/4 hose i cut out of the map line.
these parts can be bought at any parts store.
the install is very easy. make sure you put the boost line in the right side of the soft elbow fitting how it is in my pic. good luck
