MBC & Boost gauge order...

I know this has already been discussed... but I'm somewhat confused. After reading Rob Robinette's write-up... http://robrobinette.com/boost_controller.htm . I see in the picture where you would install a MBC (see attachment). My question is, where in the setup does the boost gauge get a t-fitting? I assume it goes directly after (to the right, in the pic) the MBC?

Also, does anyone know what size silicone hose to use & how much hose I will need to run a gauge to the driver pillar? I've read 6mm & 3.5mm (not sure which is right) hose for the inside the engine bay stuff, & standard vaccuum hose to run to the gauge.

Attach your boost gauge to the capped nipple on the passenger side of the intake manifold.

For your manual boost controller, do not install the pre-spool controller. It will make proper adjustment nearly impossible.

I don't have the car in front of me... so I'm going off of what I see in the Factory service manual... I see a capped nipple on the passenger side of the intake manifold. Do you just pull the cap off, & push some vaccuum hose on it & you're set?

& please explain more about the MBC placement.... I am really in the dark as to where that thing goes... (a diagram/picture would help)...

I'm no mechanic... but trying to learn all I can...

Figured out the order of everything... only thing now is... where can I find 6mm silcone hose for the MBC? I tried the local AutoZone but they only carry a silicone hose multi-pack with varying sizes.

Anyone know where I could probably find it? I'm just going to start calling around unless I hear from somebody. Thanks
