[s-cars] Boost line tapping at drivers footwell?

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Also, if you decide to tap it here, make sure you are
1000% sure that the clamps are on there good.  No
zipties.  If you are chipped, there will be 22-24psi
ripping through this little green hose just hunting
for a weak spot.  I just recently had to re-do my
boost gauge clamps because I half-assed it the first
time.  I repeat, NO ZIPTIES.  Brits parts on the west
coast has these cool little hose clamps that do the
job very well and they also sell decent silicone hose,
if you're into that sort of thing.  Again, no ZIPTIES.

You can, however, use zipties on the weekend away with
the wife.
