Where are you tying your boost gauge into ???? I've looked at the intake manifold ,,,,, and I'm not real sure where I want to tie in to it with the boost gauge. I do not want to cut the factory plastic hoses.

I tapped mine into the brake booster hose off the manifold. This is where the DC factory connects the SRT-4 boost gauge. I would recommend a metal tee fitting NAPA 715-1817. Some mis-informed people do not recommend this as they feel you some how may lose the brakes if the tee fitting blows off, this is complete bull $hit! The factory uses no clamps on this hose and it will not blow off, unless maybe you're running around 25+ psi boost and in that case you need to clamp the factory hose. I have never had a problem except for using a plastic tee, which never failed, but became very soft so I replaced it with the above metal tee.
I cut my hose and installed the tee. You could always add a piece of hose and place in between the factory hose and the manifold using the additional small hose off the manifold.
Works Great!
