Where would I hook up a boost gauge on a CA? Do I just take off part of my intake pipe, drill and tap a hole? or is there actually somewhere that I can hook one up to?

Just find a vacuum line off the intake manifold and tee off that

the best one to tee to is the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator. DO NOT USE THE BOV one as it can cause the bov to not open, or so i have read on NICO and freshalloy.

Yeah, until rob told me to hook it to the fuel pressure reg vac line, I had mine on my bov. It wouldn’t open…
