used a "T" from the vaccume hose coming off the back side of the manifold. to make it work with the plastic guage hose i used some clear plastic (soft) hose as an adapter form the "T" to the hard plastic line.

Here is a picture of mine. I ran the boost gauge and bypass off the brake feed. I would definitely recommend the copper wherever you can use it. I had the plastic stuff blow off my bypass valve a couple times.

I wouldnt run it in the wastegate.

Run it back by the brake vac line behind the manifold on the drivers side.

cheers,
Chris

on the intake were the old evac line went.
This line runs into a "boost manafold" aka aluminum block drilled and tapped were other lines split from.
