where to attach boost gauge

[jim rose]

the vac line under the steering column i THINK runs from the heater valve, 
and will not give manifold pressure. you can use the greenish line behind 
the passenger footwell carpet that runs to the ecu. this is the most common 
spot for people to grab manifold pressure. make sure you're tapping vac 
lines in a leak-free manner :)

.8 bar at idle sounds high. if i'm not mistaken you should be at about .4 
bar at idle. 1.4 bar at full boost is right on the money.

where should I attach my autometer boost gauge?.

I got the nylon tubing specific for my vacuum/boost gauge,=20
I first removed the plastic covering under the steering colum and =
spliced the rubber tubbing w/ green lines  under the steering column & =
inserted a T hose,...connected the hose with the nylon tubings, =
connected the tubings to the gauge.
I tried it for a spin but the gauge would not move, ...I then removed =
the connection to the T hose and blow at the hose, the needle moves =
which means the gauge is working?, could there be a problem with my =
line?, am seeing .8 bar when keys turned on and can reach boosts up to =
1.4 bar.
