boost gauge tap!!!

[mckc]

Ok, i am having trouble with getting this gauge tapped into the right line. I know it goes in the fps to the intake manifold, but being new to cars I still dont know exactly which line does. I have read all the explanations and seen all the pictures posted on this but I still can't figure it out. I think I narrowed it down to two. One hose leads to the middle of the intake manifold thats visible between the valve cover and the intake manifold near the top, and the other one goes down and connects below somewhere on the intake maifold? which one do I tap into? Thanks!

You should be able to tap into either as long as it is AFTER the throttle body.

I believe most people tap right into the line from the FPR (end of the fuel rail).

Here is MrBoxx's picture from the above mentioned post. That should make it easy enough for you to locate which line you need to tap. One of the lines will go to your fuel rail and the other will go to the intake manifold. Be sure to tap the line that goes to the intake manifold.

I have mine tapped into the line coming from the intake manifold going to thr bov is this bad or it does it even matter at all?

That's one spot to do it, but it's not the best spot. The FPS/manifold vacuum line is regarded by probably 99% of DSM tuners to be the best spot for a boost gauge tap.
