Default Gauges (Boost Gauge Installation?)

My 96 F350 needs gauges. I want to participate in the group buy for some gauges and I really want a Boost Gauge. I have no idea where to hook it up, or if it is even possible to hook one up to a 96 7.3? Is there a port that can be tapped or do I drill a hole somewhere near the turbo and tap it? Can anyone help me out and show me a picture or tell me how do install a Boost Gauge?

you can drill and tap the intake y tube coming out of the turbo or you can contact Kens_PS he sells a fitting that you cut the hose going to the map sensor, put this T in place, clamp it down, and then hook your boost gauge to it. that is where i got mine. it works GREAT!!!

Theres a 1/8" line off the turbo charger that goes to the MAP sensor. simply cut the line and install a T fitting. 2 ends to reconnect the oringal line and the other barb for the boost guage hose.
