I've got a Fast 90, but same concept. I used a screw in barb fitting, and tapped the manifold, then attached the map sensor with a hose and clamp on each end.

You can see it in the upper left hand corner of the picture.

So what fitting did you use that you tapped into the manifold?

Any particular place you put it? Looking back any better places?

Thanks!

Well, I simply opened up the existing hole that's there for the map sensor, and threaded in the barb. I used a regular hose barb that you can get at home depot. I kept it there because the plug is there, so I didn't have to extend any wiring harnesses.

Is it true that its better to mount it on the back?

I have no clue. It's where it was mounted before, so I kept it there.
