Boost Guage
I just removed a screw-in plug (1/8" pipe I believe) on the side of my intake manifold right below where the air intake connects to the manifold and screwed it in there. Anywhere post-turbo will work but I prefer the intake manifold so that I can see what boost the engine is seeing. Just remember to ziptie the nylon line up out of the way so that it doesn't contact anything sharp or hot.
Good luck

The other Jay beat me to it...but I put mine there as well. On mine there is a solid support plate that blocks it, so I drilled a large (7/8 I think) hole in the plate so I could use a socket on the plug and fittings and ran the line thru the hole.

I couldn't find the plug they're talking about. DUH, it's behind the support plate. So I just drilled and tapped the boost tube over the engine. Works fine, quick to do. Use some plummers tape where any threads are to eliminate leaks.

That's the spot. But if he's not inner cooled, there is a support plate in the way you have to drill through. The fuel lines mount to it. Conveniently the largest gap between the lines, lines up with the plug.
