Where is the best place to hook up a mechanical boost gauge pressure tube??

Easiest place is to T off the MAP. Refer to ITP's Install Sheet

I drilled/tapped the boost elbow.
Took about 10 min to remove the elbow,drill/tap the elbow and reinstall.
Also NO gauge flutter

I drilled and tapped the alum elbow going into the engine. Nice steady readings no flutter!

I did the same thing. I did it because it was easy to remove and clean before I started the engine. Great results.

Does the boost elbow have a gasket or an O-ring? Just curious when you remove it doesit ruin the gasket if it has one.
Thanks

Army,

Did mine yesterday. Rubber O-Ring embedded into top of intake surface. Just clean the two surfaces and put back together.
