anywhere where there is manifold vacuum/boost.. you can use a t piece from the blow off valve ,fuel reg vac line, canister purge vac line or on the vac line that runs from the manifold into the cab for heater controls...

so... have the gauge fitted, light working, line threw the firewall sitiing there ready to b fitted. have found out that the line i have been trying to 't' up to (the fuel reg line) is corect but all im getting is vacuum and as soon as i put my foot down under load it goes up to '0' but no further
 i blew into the line and the gauge went up to 2 psi, so im quite sure theres nothing wrong with my gauge

There isn't a one way valve connected to that line before your gauge is there?

took car to mechanic as he is fitting my fuel regulator and bigger pump next week, and so he hooked up his gauge and theres no boost in the manifold
rang bpt and he thinks there is something mechanically wrong with the blower. so all now to do is get a hold of Raptor and get it checked out!
