Default Best place to run hoses to/tap intake manifold.

I need to install my boost gauge and vacuum hose for the blow off valve. Where would be the best place to tee off the hoses or tap the intake manifold on a B16?

That or you can just run those plastic T's off of the feed into the back of the manifold. That's what I did, but it's not nearly as clean as the GE product.

You can run them all of the FPR vacuum line, but the Golden Eagle vacuum manifold is much cleaner and will help response since it is uses the vacuum off the 1/2" brake booster line instead of the tiny FPR line.

Here is mine:

That is an old picture since I have the one that is capped off leading to my boost controller and another nipple drilled out for the 3.5 bar MAP sensor.

Get it from tunertoys for $35. It is one of the better investments you will make.
