Installing boost gauge
 
Which way does everyone install their boost gauge? Do you drill and tap the intake manifold or just use a T fitting off the pressure line from the turbo?

You can drill and tap the intake which i did or there is a plug number 26:humm:

what exactly is that plug to start with?

that just goes in your intake housing, your intake temp sender is # 7 so it will be right next to it.

The easiest way is to use a boost bolt.

However, I prefer to drill and tap the intake. The gauge will live MUCH longer.
