Default Hooking up boost gauge need help.

Autometer z series mechanical boost gauge. I need to tap that white nylon tubing into the boost/vac source. Where exactly does it go? I have the line going now then teed to the bov, then it continues then teed to the boost controller, then it goes into the wastegate.

Where do I want it?

Before the BOV? all the way at the end of the line?

Before Boost controller?

Before wastegate?

Thanks

pick up a vac manifold for like 25-30 bucks
looks cleaner than having T's everywhere
one vac source for everything (break booster)
consistent vac source for everything

and now for your questions...

mount the vac manifold to your firewall

it will have it's own vac nipple off the manifold

makes life easy GL

I have a vacuum manifold. The thing is does that see boost and vacuum?

Anyway I just taped the gauge in between the fpr and the fuel rail.

im about to hook my boost gauge up tomorrow. my directions got trashed but i think they said to hook it up at the vacuum line going to the BOV. not completly sure though. check the directions out.
if you have a vac manifold then do away with all the T'S. go straight to the manifold with your vacuum lines.

when i ran my boost gauge, i ran it off of the nipple that was originally for the FPR because i had run the FPR off of the vac manifold...

Just give it a vac source and forget about it...
