no need to tap the inlet manifold - there should be a small pipe coming from the top of the lhs of the inlet manifold - you can cut this and put your t - piece in and run off the t to your boost gauge.

not sure on a 95 which pipe it is, but you definatley don't have to tap the inlet manifold !

I heard that the best place to T into was the small dumpvalve pipe coming from the top of the manifold, thats where mine is and it gives a good reading.

Hope it helps

T into the one that goes to the top of the dump valve, this is also the bigest pipe too.

Hope this helps, anything else let me know.
