Best Spot For a GReddy Turbo Gauge

The booklet says run it off the Fuel Pressure Regulator vacuum line, but I can not freaking locate it, I know it's off the fuel rail...

I've heard some guys say run the aftermarket gauge off the stock boost pressure sensor.

Does anyone have any pictures of their boost gauge setups?

Thanks

I just T'd mine off the line that goes to the BOV. I was going to use the boost sensor one, but the hose was too small for my T fitting.
any vac line should work. just use one AFTER the TB

best place is to use one of the vacuum lines off the intake plenum. right behind the throttle body. You don't get the pulsating type of signal, instead a constant source.

Ok, I'm REALLY new to locating vacuum components under the hood, is the stock BOV on a line near the passenger strut tower?

So after the Throttle Body...any one in particular that would be easy to get to?

I T'ed into the hose that connects the pressure sensor to the intake manifold. The pressure sensor is located on the front side of the passenger strut tower. Little black thing that works about as good as your average FC wiper switch.

on the drivers side of the firewall in the very corner. Look close to the master/slave cylinder for the clutch and you'll see a giant groumet. It's really easy to run the line through it.
