Well, just think about it for a second.. You obviously want to read how much boost you are getting. So their really is only a few places this could be right? ok, the turbo makes charged air that comes off the turbo compressor, that air is then run through some Intercoolers then through IC piping. Could you put it on your charge piping? Yes, but since most gauges read vacuum you wont read vacuum on your charge pipes since its before the throttle body.. so moving on, you run into the intake manifold, this is where everything gets its source, (manifold pressure) your map sensor/fuel pressure/brake booster etc etc. This is where you hook it up at. But which port? well their are like 4-5 sources on most Honda intake manifolds. You will have to "T" into one of them. I recommend going off the fuel pressure regulator line, its the small one that is near your FPR off the fuel rail.

Good luck
