Default Where to screw in electronic boost gauge sensor

I got my hands on an AEM electronic boost gauge and have no idea where to screw in the sensor. Someone told me to get a throttle body extension plate. If thats the case I'll just get a mechanical one.

Your best bet would be to find out the thread type and fit a hose tail onto the end of it so you can plumb it into a decent vacuum/boost source. Bypass valve or map sensor would be a good place.

All that boost with no adjustable fuel pressure regulator? And yeah those lines will absolutely leak at best, blow right off at worst. Definitely reccomend atleast using small worm clamps and if possible do a boost leak test aswell.

2 things

1) never tee off the fpr source. leave the fpr alone, if a line blows off, fails, splits etc your messing with your fuel rail pressure which mechanically ****s your tune up and can cause damage.
2) if your boosted you should remove the stock pvc system, it no longer functions as intended with positive pressure. remove pcv valve and replace with a barb fitting and run that to a vented catch can. (you can opt for a sealed catch can if you are running a intake off your turbo and install a pre turbo vacuum source) that leaves a big open port on the intake manifold to use as your boost reference lines. you can run this to a vacuum block and use it for the wastegate, bov, aem map, etc. if your on a stand alone the emmisions crap is no longer used so you can use all those ports instead of a vacumm block. i had enough open unused ports on my ap1 intake manifold everything got its own dedicated port
