Turbo boost gauge
 
What is the right place to tap the x pipe for the boost gauge?

You can tap it on the hot side, or the cold side, or tap the MAP line with a brass T

The hot side is right after the turbo compressor, which will read a bit higher then the cold side.

Cold side is after the intercooler... RiffRaff sells a nice plug that removes the Intake Air Heater and replaces it with a plug that you can install the boost gauge there...

Or you can build a Brass T with barbed fittings on two sides and a 1/8" compression fitting on the other...

CSIPSD, is there a preferred side to mount it? i know it can be done on either side, but which one would be more suited for accurate monitoring? I am assuming cold side as that is the side going to the motor?

Cold side is where most mount it, so your numbers would be comparable.
