Find a small vacuum pipe AFTER the throttle plate, so on the inlet plenum or similar, and use a T piece to splice into the pipe

the most accurate place is to cut into the pipe that goes to the map sensor and then put a t piece in the map sensor is on the passenger side inner wing about half wy and in the middle on a little bracket.there is a pipe and a block connector on it you cant really see the sensor as it sits under the bracket

The MAP sensor pipe is NOT the best place to be T'ing into!
