Need help with Boost Guage install

[poneypower89]

Ok, I know most are gonna say t off the vaccum line that my FMU is on..

But, my gauge kit didnt come with a t-fitting and I cannot locate one that will fit the vaccum line AND the tube running to the gauge (different sizes)

The instructions say some intake manifolds have bolts you can take out to put the tap fitting in (which is made for this gauge tube).

Does the stock 5.0 intake have this? If so, where is it located?

If anyone has any other suggestions to how I can get this done TODAY that would be great. I've been running the stock pulley with the vortech for over 1.5 years and never bothered to get a gauge. But now I've got a smaller pulley sitting in the garage I want to put on tonight and I want to make sure everything is cosher with the boost levels. Thank you.

There are no plugs you can remove on the stock intake. Your best bet would be to run a line off the vacuum log by the power brake booster. I kinda think it may have an unused port. If not, you can probably T off one of the lines there.

I've had my SC on for about 6 months now, and my boost gauge is still sitting in the garage. I've been to damn lazy to install it.
