Where did you guys hook up the line for the boost gauge? The map sensor or manifold and which one is more accurate? Also, is there mechanical and electronic versions of boost gauges? Sorry for the dumb question. heheheh

most guys will tell you to hook it up to the capped nipple on the manifold. i personally wouldn't t into the map sensor to run a boost guage b/c i wouldn't want to mess anything up w/ the sensor. sorry, but i can't tell you which is more accurate. there are both electrical and mechanical boost guages. i would go w/ a mechanical one b/c all you have to do is run the hose off the manifold directly to the back of the guage.

go out and get a t so you can run both. i just installed my profec b and it came w/ one so i could run both my boost guage and profec b off of the manifold.

have a hose come off your manifold to the t, then it just splits from there. one nipple for your avc-r, the other nipple for a boost guage.
