Default Boost Gauge......

Where is the best place to "Tee" the Vaccuum Hose from for my Stack Boost Gauge.

I've been told not to break into the line for the 3 Bar Map Sensor feed.

The only other hoses I have (I think) are from the Dump Valve & Fuel Reg to the Plenum

Or do I need to tap myself a new Outlet from the Plenum ????

I thinks its bad practice to T into the fuel regulator i maybe wrong though? , i need to do this too , i was going to find a 2 piece connector and put this where the DV is connected .

I always keep away from the map sensor pipework as it can cause a delay in its reaction time , either a new line or t piece it into another pressure line would be better , kinda like the new line better as if a leak happens in boost gauge line then you could loose some fuel pressure as well , always try and do it fail safe is my way .

It's best to tee somewhere other than the map, or fuel pressure reg/dv, in an ideal world.
Without an alternative though just make sure the pipes are a nice fit and secure, with no leaks, use tie wraps at each join if needed.

If I had to choose between the three, I'd easily go for the dump valve
