Most kits will supply a tee fitting that you splice into the MAP line. Where did you get yours?

I drilled and tapped the compressor manifold, the silverish looking aluminum Y piece that attaches to the outlet of the turbo. That's harder to get to beacuse you need to remove it, or be very careful.

Not gonna matter if you put the Tee in the map line. You see the stock turbo will begin to defuel at about 22 psi and will be in bigtime defuel at 25. So you may need to get a boost fooler. Stock systems rarely get there until max bost under load, but can easily make 20. With intake, exhaust and tuner mods, then you need to fool the PCM. Check out the boost annihilator at ITP diesel.

I don't know what "this arvo" means but would like to ask where your gauge is hooked up. We have been theorizing about how tunes make HP here, and the boost relationship those tunes allow the PCM to see.
