Help installing a boost gauge?

[SeiRyu300]

I am trying to install my boost gauge and I guess I need a step by step for dummies. For what I put together from everything I have read this is what I need to do(see picture). Is this correct? I figured I better come to the experts!

sure you can tap there. I'd tap it right near the intake manifold with a small vacuum hose section to a T fitting.

Leave the turning thinga muh jiggy alone.

What does your boost gauge read at full open throttle?

Okay after I got my boost gauge installed I ran down to 7-11. At full throttle I was hitting about 12psi. I put on my HKS BOV and now at full throttle I am hitting between 16 & 17psi. Just curious if this is normal.

I took the car to the track on Friday to see what it will do in the quarter mile. Best I could get was a 15.85 stock. At least this gives me a baseline for future mods.

This is where I finally tapped it.

That sounds about right.
