if possible you should use a short, non-t'ed line from the intake manifold for the boost gauge.

yeah, that would work if possible. can you find an existing vacuum port that you can free up? that would be easier that drilling and tapping it.

just T it off of something, dont go through all of that hassle of removing the intake and shit to drill/tap it. everything pressurizes at the same rate so one place wont give you a different reading than another.
