Default Gauge Help

I am trying to hook up a vacuum gauge, everyone has told me to hook up to the brake booster, since its like 1/2" ID and i can not find a t fitting anywhere that goes from 1/2 to 1/8 is it possible to make a small hole and push a straight fitting into it?... only other place i could hook up to would be the line running from the intake to the pcv valve? any input would be great...

Why dont you put a "T" fitting in one of your vacuum lines for the motor and running it off of that?
