The most stable air flow is in the intake elbow.

Some boost gauges register vacuum. However most people tap the intake elbow right in front of the EGR valve.

well diesels dont have vacum , only boost(positive pressure),vacum is only on gasers, thats why our trucks use vacum pumps for ESOF and other little dodads. so installing a vac/boost gauge its a waist, unless you just happen to have one laying around. if you buying one just get plain boost gauge...
