You don't need a tee if you hook it up on the upper intake manifold. Look on the passenger side of the engine (A-spec) and there should be a capped off nipple there. There will be another nipple that looks similar with a hose on it. If you are unsure of this description you might go here:
www.scuderiaciriani.com and search for this.

Yeah, take the cap off of the unused nipple and put it there. The cap may be hard to get off (if it was anything like mine) It might be partially glued on or something.

I'm using that nipple to read pressure for the pressure sensor on the pfc f-con. HKS told me to use a didicated line for this. Anyone have any other locations for the boost gauge?

You can use any line that attaches to the intake tract as long as there is no one way valve in front of it. Easiest install I have found is to T into the map sensor line between the little filter and the sensor. Run your hose behind the brake booster and through the large hole in the driver's fender near the firewall (behind the cruise control if you have it). Undo the rear of the plastic fender liner and just above the oil coller outlet you'll find a blank plug in the firewall that leads into the passenger compartment behind the top of the fuse box.
