I just got my boost gauge from Summit. I'm wondering where I would best tap the line into?

We just did this two days ago on an '87 t2..go by an autozone, etc and buy a small vaccum line(nothing crazy, like 3" long and probably 4mm)..you tap into the vacum line coming off the pressure sensor and goes into the UIM...put the hard line included with the kit, into the small vacum line you just bought, and slide the other end over the "T"....good to go...I'll get pics if nobody else does...

yeah, autozone has lots of different plastic connectors, T-shapes, I-shapes, Y-shapes, etc. in different hose sizes like 4mm, 6mm, etc. buy one of those, tap into the hose running from the intake manifold to the pressure sensor/BOV connection.



autozone also has silicone tube sets for $15 with differnt sizes ranging from 4mm to 10mm, well worth it and they have a bunch of different colors. i'd recommend running long silicone tubing instead of that crap nylon that's going to get hard and crack from the engine bay heat. little hint: i wraped my nylon tubing in duct tape to prevent any damage from heat and other crap.
