Boost gauge install I just installed my procharger and I'm looking to install my boost gauge. No idea how it's done. I take it I need to go buy a small vaccuum line or someting like that and run it to the gauge? Where should I cut into? Can I use the line off the blow off valve?

Most people cut into the hose running to the brake booster. I tee'd off of that, then ran another tee so I could feed both the gauge sensor and the bypass valve.

Thats what I did. I cut the hose in half and then made a manifold pipe, which is piece of 5/16 metal pipe with threads on both ends. You find them at home depot. Threaded hose barbs on each end to put the brake booster line back together. I have 3 holes drilled and taped in to the pipe with hose barbs threaded in to them. Then I ran the small vac hose to my by pass valve, hobbs switch, and boost gauge. I had 2 "T's" at one point and didn't like that mess but it worked fine.
