Hello baba...

(very quikcly and off the top of my head - just on my way out to work!).

I plumbed my boost gauge in to the vacuum tree.

1/. Remove the throttle body cover (sits th the right of the fuel rail).
(Black plastic cover with one torx srew securing it).
2/. Under here is the vacuum tree - black 'tree shaped' thingy with 6 or so outlets on.
3/. One or two (can't remember) should already be in use - namely for the stock boost gauge, the rest will have bungs closing them off.
4/. Simply remove one of the bungs and attach your hose here.

Sorry - no pics, perhaps some-one can post one up in a bit??
Hope this helps - must dash to work now!!!

hello mate i plummed my boost gauge into the original dash boost gauge (the black and white one) i just felt under the dash and found the vacume pipe going to the dash gauge and cut it. then put a T peice in that goes to the new boost gauge. that way you dont have to run loadsa vacume pipe through to the engine its so simple that way
