Cool best boost location?

I have a 97 f250 and was wondering where the best location is for installing the boost line to monitor pressure. I installed it where the y pipe is but is in the way of fuel filter when I change filter. Oh well can't think of everything when you are doing mod's. Thanks Jcab

do it off of the map sensor line. its a black line that runs from the pass side of the y pipe to the map sensor. just tie it into the middle of the rubber hose somewhere.

I removed my "Y" pipe and drilled and tapped the back of it. That way you can't see where it is tapped. look in my sig for pics, I can't be sure if I posted that one or not.
