I'm sorry as soon as I learn how to post pictures on here I will show you exactly what I mean. basically the y fitting you install with an aftermarket boost controller has one line into the solenoid one line into the air intake tube and another line into the manifold under the left corner of the intercooler, that is also where you would want to tap in for most accurate boost reading, right after the throttle body there. Again if someone could help me with posting pics i'd be more than happy to show you my setup that works just fine, and actually for once had the exact same reading on my boost controller that I did on my boost gauge, which from my knowledge sometimes requires a little bit of tweeking a couple psi off or so.
