The closer to the throtle body the better.
The most popular one is the one that plugs into the fuel reg.

Just get a T piece, that's the easiest way. Any vacum hose that comes off the manifold will do...

I played around with it connecting it up.
My only concern is that I done wat was pictured and the nylon tubing can be easyly pulled out of where the nuts connect, is this normal? or have I over looked something??
It says; sealing nut- ferrule- adapter- gauge, but the tubing can come straight out leaving everything behind. :-?
Btw this is for a autometer mechanical boost gauge.

EDIT: I was talking to a mate who had a similar autometer gauge but liquid filled, and he said he was able to swing his around by the vacuum hose.
I was thinking maybe its suppose to be loose at first to allow the hose to expand.

Yeah i did, it says in the diagram;
vacuum line, sealing nut, ferrule (might be that bead thingy you said), adapter that connects to gauge.
Btw, how tight did you do it up?

EDIT: It reeeaaalllyy needs to be screwed in hard to grab.
Thanks all :)
