From the pic that came with the instructions it looks like im suppose to take out one of the bolts from my intake manifold and replace it with the one that was supplied that the clear hose runs into. Is this right or am I missin something?

Zach save your money, remove the intake horn, drill 11/32 bit and 1/8 NPT tap and be done.

so are you saying I could install it into my intake manifold? I have a cfm+ could I use one of the ports on it?

Megacabdad do you have to use the exact same placement as in the picture? Or can I use a different bolt location?

I used one similar to that location in the picture, not sure if it's the exact one or not.

You will see several places to remove bolts and gain access to boost readings, though...

I'll take a picture for 'ya, if you need...

Just use one of the ports on the back of your CFM. Thats what I did on my ATS intake horn. The clear hose goes from there to the back of the gauge
