Default Boost Gauge Install Help....Where did you tap in for boost? (m)

For people who have done this on the '02 or '03 I need to know where you tapped in for the boost pressure. I have read all the tech articles, but I am still unclear as to what line to put the Tee in. I don't want to cut the wrong hose. A good explanation would be appreciated. Thanks..

Default There's a line coming off the front of the intake manifold. Facing the...

front of the car it on the front, left side of the main intake manifold. It looks like it's fabric covered rubber. It goes from there to one of the electric valves attached to the bottom of the manifold.

I'm going to attach mine about mid-way but I'd like to know if it takes a 3/16" Tee (or Y) or if some other size is recommended. It looks too big for a 1/8" and too small for a 1/4" hose.

Anybody know where we can buy metric fittings?
