I'd say on the A-pillar. If your lookin for something cleaner check out the BD X-monitor.

a good place to tap for a boost gauge?

on a lb7 the easiest would be to put a T-tap in the wastegate line

the only fitting that owuld come with the gauge would be the compression fittings to attach the nylon hose to your tap. you can stick that onto your tee
