this is a stupid question but where is the best place to hook up the boost gauge line for a very good psi reading not a vaccume reading any pic would be great
boost gauge hook up - 6G Celicas Forums
mine is T'd into the line that goes to my BOV. lots of people say that the capped ports on the back of the intake manifold work well too.

that is where i have mine but i dont get a + psi reading i get a - vaccume reading ? all i want to know how much + psi my turbo is making i have it set for 7 psi but the most my gauge reads is like 3 psi but i am pretty sure that it is pushing more than that, i taped it to the wastegate line and it read around 5-6 psi should i leave it hooked up there or just leave it on the bov line

You want to see how much boost is actually making it to the motor - that's what a boost gauge is for... So, it should come from a manifold source. The stock BPV vacuum line is a good source along with the ports on the back of the manifold.

ok thanks 
I also hooked my DV up to the back of my manifold but didnt blow off, i assume that isnt a vacuum outlet then.
