I tapped mine right on the fpr vac line. Worked like a charm for me and alot of my friends.

seriously a quick yahoo search will tell you.

1 bar=14.5 psi

more precise

0.5 bar = 7.2518869 pound-force/square inch (PSI)

1 bar = 14.5037738 pound-force/square inch (PSI)

Any vacuum source will work. I tapped mine right off a line going from MAP sensor to the Intake manifold.

i had a brass T that i used as a vacuum block. it's basiclly just a T from home depot with nipple fitting screwed in. i liked it because my BOV needed a bigger hose so i just got differant size nipples.

oh yeah, your boost gauge should have come with some fittings and that will screw right in to the T.
