Default fitting boost gauge on a bugeye ej20

I would like to fit a boost gauge on my bugeye, can someone point me in the right direction to which hose I need to T into, there are so many and I guess some are filled with water not air .

Any help inc photos if possible would be good.

Thanks in advance

if you follow the blue 4mm boost hose around with the throttle cable you will see where it is Joined onto the inlet manifold

Cheers, I am going to be fitting it saturday afternoon while doing an oil change, is there a place for "Guides" on here as I was thinking of taking photos as I do it so others can follow...I know its not going to be hard but someone else might find it useful.
