Where to get the boost from?

[silkcity100]

im finishing up my install and just trying to figure out where is the best place to hook up the wastegate hose from,either the compressor housing or teed of the boost gauge(is it ok if the wastegate hose is teed,
cause i have only 3 fittings on my sheet metal intake 1)to the brake booster,2)adjustable fpr,3)boost gauge or wastegate
if i use the compressor housing i would need a fitting but i checked everywhere for a 90degree banjo fitting for the compressor housing and cant find it,home depot ,plumbing store,atpturbo.com,ebay,rre,etc and nothing
any help is appreciated tnx in advance

I vote intake mani and tap the boost gauge from the FPR like it should be anyway.

What are you installing? An MBC or a boost gauge?

A boost gauge should tee into your FPS line btwn the FPS and the IM.

An MBC should NEVER EVER be tee'd into the BOV line, but pull from the compressor housing.

Ummmmm you sure about that?

Straight from VFAQ and quoted for truth......

There are two main places to tap in a boost gauge:

The 'P' outlet on the throttle body on the intake manifold (easiest)
The Fuel Pressure solenoid (best)
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.

Yeah, thats exactly what i was talking about. . . The fps (fuel pressure solenoid).

And tee into the line that goes btwn the solenoid and the intake manifold.

Thats exactly what i said, and exactly how i did mine.

Holy Crap. I must be crazy. I could have SWORN the post I quoted said NEVER tap at the FPS. I have no clue how the hell I saw that. It must have been the sentence right below it. Nucking Futz!!! Forgive me
