Where do you guys think or know where the most accurate boost reading can be pulled from? Currently mine is tapped into the line from the spider to the map sensor.

I have tapped into my AIH delete plug in the intake spider. I have never had it T'd into the MAP line, but I doubt there is any real difference in the pressure readings.

I used the line that I deleted the wastegate, the red one.

A AIH delete with fitting would be in my opinion the best place to go, but I have never had a problem with my T, so I am in no rush to change it.

I broke my line into the T when installing my 38R. Just wondering if I should put it somewhere else or just leave it and fix it.

My opinion, just fix it and go.

From what I have read, and from people I trust, you dont need to do the AIH delete for any good reason, except putting in a the map sensor there. You can pick one up from Clay. Oh yeah, another reason you may want to do it, you pick up a spare relay incase your GPR goes bad.
