Default 930 Boost gauge install?

Anyone know where the boost source is for a
930 clock hole mounted boost gauge? The stock gauge in the speedo looks like it
runs off an electronic source, but the install kit I got with the gauge has a T
with large rubber vacume line about 2 feet long....
Any help would be appreciated.

not positive, but I think you tie into the brake booster up front in the trunk

Usually the "T" fits into the back of the brake booster. Look at it and see if it has a rubber "O" ring type end on one end. If it does then that end goes into the brake booster and replaces the plastic fitting that is in the booster now. If it is just a "T" then you will have to cut the existing hose and install the "T". Be prepaired to loosen or remove some of the "Stuff" around the booster because there is not much room to work with. Be sure and clamp all of the ends real tightly because not only does that hose provide you with boost indications but brake boost! Good luck.

Thank you all for the fast response. That's great information, and now I will be able to get the gauge hooked up before A november Track Day at Limerock!

What i did!
On the tube between the wastegate and the intercoler(thats what the -T- is for) you connect the -T- and run a tube to the gauge.
