I'll assume you're wondering where tubing gets attached under the hood? Depending on what brand and/or who you got your kit from it may or may not have what you need. Mine didn't. Made one. It's the tee fitting in the top left corner of this pic. Got the parts at my local Ace Hardware. Cut the tube to the MAP sensor and plug it in.
You can get a plastic version of that piece from dieselmanor.com. (Click Here)
If you'd like a better picture of mine let me know.

The MAP sensor is on the firewall on the passenger side. There is a rubber hose running from there to the engine. That is the hose that needs the T put into it.
