Boost gauge question?
I was wondering where everyone hooks their boost line up at? The directions on mine say to hook into any vacuum line, I did that and it is not working. Icalled the manufacturer and they told me to hook it up to an air compressor and blow air into it and see if it reads anything,if it does they said mmight need to drill and tap intake manifold. Thanks in advance for the help!

Try connecting it to the MAP sensor hose. Boost gauge measures boost (pressure) not vacuum.

MAP sensor is on the passenger side firewall next to heater / ac box. It has a hose connected to it and the hose goes down to the passenger side intake.

On our site we have an installtion sheets page that shows the MAP sensor hose connection as well as the turbo connection. Either one is a good choice.
