Question Boost fitting on STi

I know, I know, do a search, look at Chiarks faq etc etc.

I am sorry about that (working today!) but there seems to be a definite gap in the info.

Where do you tap the boost line on a MY05 sti, it is different to the WRX and there are no spare nipples with bungs.
Please help and post pics if possible.

Thanks guys

Ben

p.s.
where can I get Scooby Mag? I gather they've done an article; bet it's not on a red top (sti) though. can't find it in news agents, anywhere online?

again no spare nipple to fit onto so most cut the hose to the DV and then insert a T piece for the bost gauge to tap into, just done it and it seems to work well, holds a constant 16psi under full boost, I've just found out

That's the Subaru recommended method.
