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

Fuel regulator? why there?,
is it the most accurate place or is it just the easiest place for it being popular??

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.

Did you put the little bead thing that fits over the nylon line in there? Mine was tight when i instaled it.

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 :)
