Default Aftermarket boost guage

I'm planning on installing an aftermarket boost guage in place of the clock since I did a lot of mods to the car. Where does the gauge get the most accurate reading. I have a Kokeln I/C and was planning to get the reading off one of the hoses. Any ideas?

There is a line that runs from the manifold to your brake booster (in the trunk). Tap into that.

It's located under the floor board and in the lugage compartment under the wipers, I can post a picture later.

Brent, that would be helpful. I don't know where the brake booster is located.

It's the big round black thing in your trunk up near the driver.

Here are a couple pictures. The line runs up top into the lugage compartment.

It comes from the manifold on the drivers side in between cylinder 1 and 2 injectors back throught the chassis under the floor board as you can see and up into the lugage compartment to the brake booster. The small hose is for my EBC since the original owner routed the hard line to the rear of the car not knowing about the brake boost line.
