The easiest place to connect the gauge is on one of the nipples on the bottom of the intake manifold. Another easy place is in a "T" on the line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Bottom line, to get an accurate reading of manifold pressure, it must be place between the throttle plate and the intake valve. If placed between the turbo and throttle plate, the readings are incorrect.

I just bought a VDO boost gauge. I know that it needs to connect somewhere in line with the intake manifold. Where should it connect? Thanks.
