where to attach boost gauge

[Oliver M. Llenado]

got it thanks.

hooked up a T connector and did not cut the vac hose at the ecu side,
now am getting 12 mm hg  @ .4 bar vacuum and 9 psi at 1.4 bar I think?, It's
traffic here at colorado blvd & did not have enough space to push it.. maybe
tommorow at I-25. I hooked up the gauge socket wires to the blue wire at the
cigarrete lighter, discovered a bulb at the end of the wire. I just
installed the gauge right before the speaker grills on the dash board.

;)
