I have been lurking for a while now and haven't really seen a solution for an easy way to tap into the intake for a boost gauge reference. Well I ran across this a few days ago and ordered one

I will be installing it when it comes in tomorrow, I thought of trying the same thing with some pipe fittings from Lowes but the holes would have been a bit big and I was worried the intercooler hose wouldn't be able to handle that without splitting.

Hope this helps someone :)

No need to drill anything with "Torque" that reads boost electronically from the ECU.

^ I like those gauges, your install looks great!

Got mine installed and wired in earlier today, works great. Its a little tricky getting the piece pushed through the intercooler hose but its not a terrible ordeal at all.
