Default Boost gauge fitting

Anyone know where the best place to tee into to get the most accurate reading for a boost gauge please, if it ever stops raining I would like to have a go at this today.

have a look for any small pipes on the inlet manifold failing that you can use the pipe going to the dump valve

yep fine at the dv, although you will need to make sure the t-piece fits correct as the dv tube is quite large, as long as it seals all is good

you might have to buy a t piece the one i had supplied with mine was way too small for any of the hoses,so you might need that plus new hose as well
