Default which way to hook gauges up?

I have seen may ways to hook up my boost gauge and my fuel pressure gauge. i was thinking about taking the intake horn off and drilling and taping that and putting a 1/16 to 1/8th adapter on the top of the fuel filter for the fuel pressure gauge what do yall think?

stock fuel filter? I ran my gauge off the test port on the vp and isolated the sended from vibration with a flex hose for a grease gun.

Use the boost bolt for the boost reading.
On the 99 like mine you can just go off the top of the FF canister. Use the one on the left. That should be after filter.

did you have to buy the adapter when you do it off the 44 test port? cause i havnt done it yet but i think ill have to get an adapter to put it on the fuel filter because my sending unit has a male 1/8th fitting on it

The open port that you see on the front left is 1/8" NPT. Use that one. I also run an isolator to the gauge.
