Default Boost gauge fitting...
I have a Tim boost gauge and was wondering the best place to take the feed off in the engine bay...its a fez turbo lump with T3.

Is it ok to take it of the vacuum hose that comes off the top of the dump valve??

Wheres the best place for the most accurate reading...cheers
oh Pics would also be awesome!!
