thats where the computer take a boost measurement! just make sure you use a tee so the map sensor can still sense boost.

Hummm . . . .
I checked on my '06 and there is a nipple for the coolant bottle but the other Hole only has a bolt extending for the alt wiring harness to hook on to. Also was to the far right of the Oil Filler cap flooking into the engine. Not an option for later years from '05 on eh?
By the way have you ever teed up a nipple? I've seen some that are tall enough when the weather turns cold . . .

An alternative place is to tap into the throttle body elbow. Some gauges don't like the map sensor line (for whatever stupid reason--fluttering or something like that). Either is a good place, just depends on what tools or abilities you have at hand.
