Tap into FPS vacuum line (see image)

You have three taps on the intake plenum (excluding the TB) used for the: PCV, brake booster and fuel pressure solenoid. The FPS is located on the front side of the plenum closest to the drivers side and terminates to a solenoid located on the firewall. Simply "T" into this line and connect your boost gauge.

The gauge should have come with instructions that are pretty good. As for a place to take the source from.....you will have to use one of the holes in the thermostat housing. There are a couple that usually aren't used. Figure out which one you aren't using and use the adapters with the kit to make it work. If the kit doesn't have the right adapter you need you could always drill and tap the housing. However be aware that the metal is thin and sealing it is tricky. Good Luck

For an aftermarket gauge, you can replace the "gauge" sensor with the aftermarket sensor. Of course the factory gauge will not work anymore............but hey, you now have a real one.
