Boost gauge install

I have used the search tool and have read threw 4pgs of info

. What im looking for are pics of vacuum sources for your boost gauge. I'm thinking of runing it off of the booster line with my bypass or using the small port directly across from the booster port on back side of manifold. Can anybody post up some pics of their install, I need a visual.

what about that thing from when the AIR/EGR **** was installed, you know how when you take it off you have that bare vacuum line that you plug up that goes to the back of the intake, would that one work too?

Where does that rubber hose (the one the guage line is spliced into) go? That's not the AIR line...is it?
