Default Fitting a boost gauge >>>

I have brought a Digital boost gauge went to fit it today on my S2 and opened the instructions to find that it looks like its been written by a far eastern guy with no knowledge at all on anything to do with cars....
Anyway on the sender unit it a t-piece which obviously fits into a hose that has to be cut. The instructions say to fit this onto the 'manifold vavuum hose on car' any ideas which hose this is sposed to be and where its located. Thanks, Joe

Top of inlet manifold, best fitted to left hand hose, or ideally tapp one into the inlet where the 2 are already at the top, loads of hassle tho so jus use the vaccum take off on the left, right hand is for ECU, can also use this one np, BUT can fuck up the ecu's signal if any leaks at all.....
