Why do you need a T exactly?

It you are looking for a threaded T with female ports you get a cheap brass one at any auto parts store or an aluminum one from summit racing or other similar store.

I'm just confused as to why you would need it. What kind of MBC are you using?

This should help you out, I dont think you would need a Tee either.

So you want a T to install your boost gauge into the FPR line? You don't need a brass fitting then, just a plastic T which you can get at any auto parts store. Install it on the FPR line like shown here:

Is it not better to Run the boost gauge to the TB instead of the FBR?

I've never seen one referenced there and get readings I'd expect at my mech gauge, but perhaps someone will chime in with a technical answer.

Ive heard of a couple friends who T'd into the vac lines off the top of the intake mani (im sure by TB you meant the three vacs that go to emissions on top of the intake mani) but theyre reading were messed up and completely inaccurate. I'd say ALWAYS T into the FPR line whether or not you have emissions crap still in your engine bay.

Per the VFAQ the FPR is more accurate then the P port on the TB.

"The consensus on Club DSM is that the fuel pressure solenoid gives the most accurate results, and this is where I tap in myself. This FAQ simply shows were the solenoid is and where to tap in."
