i want to instal a boost gauge because im running around 12PSI. i just want to make sure i wont overboost and hit fuel cut. What vacumm line do i use to install it? if anyone could send pictures that would be fantastic
Aftermarket Boost Gauge install?

There's a nipple on the back of the intake manifold that goes to your factory boost sensor, thats where I tee'd mine in.

how did you run the line to the boost gauge. in trying through the firewall but i havent got it yet
so its a mechanical gauge? if so then i believe you will need to run a line through the fire wall to the gauge. if its an electric gauge then you should have a sensor hooked up to the vac line and then wires to the gauge. sorry its so vague, but so is the question
with my mechanical boost gauge (and i know this was a little bit of a shortcut) i removed one of the screws that hold the boot for your throttle cable and ran it through there. fit perfect.
little blob of RTB, job done.
i know its a little cheap, but IMO one screw is plenty to hold that boot.

I ran mine across the top of the engine bay and into where the ECU and harness meet, then I just ran the line behind my dash as I saw fit.
I'm automatic, theres a nice 1'' rubber boot i cut an X into right where the clutch master cylinder is supposed to be. 
Goes right behind the gauge cluster.

wow, thats perfect,
i went for the strait route, i know it probably doesnt make a difference, but my thinking was the shorter and less bends in the hose, the better.

length or bends do not matter, but pinching will. pressure is the same throughout the hose/manifold
