Default how to fit boost gauge

i guess this has been asked lots before but i cant find an answer on here.

just wondering which side of the inlet do i fit my boost gauge/vacuum pipe too?
my dump valve is on the right (passenger side).
should i t piece the same side or use opposite side?
does it matter?
thanks fellas

Yes you can T into the dump valve side will be fine as you want the gauge to show vac as well as positive presure. Dont T into the map sensor pipe tho. I try and keep it so they have one pipe from the inlet to the sensor

rsmatt,

is that a tee or just a join ?
