boost guage.

So I have my pyro, and trans temp guages installed, but where do I tap in for the tee that comes with the boost guage? If someone could show me a pick with the exact location it would be a great help. Thanks in advance

ok, so I teed into the map sensor line. Does it matter whether it's closer to the vavle cover, or near the firewall? I have it closer to the firewall cause it allowed for a neater install, but it seems slow on the guage when I get into the throttle...seems to be delayed. Highest boost reading so far is 15psi, does that sound right?

That sounds about right...My max is 19-20...my only difference in mods from you is a 6637 and a 6pos TW chip.

Sounds like you are in. The #'s are consistent with others with your mods. I used to get 25 psi but all trucks are different as you will see.
