Where to connect boost gauge line

[Isa's IH]

Sorry if this is posted somewhere, I could not find info here about where the best location for my boost gauge pressure line would be?
before or after intercooler?

Thanks

The best place is to drill and tap the aluminum intake elbow. You can also "T" off of the MAP line, but that may cause the needle to flutter on the gauge.

If you don't want to drill and tap, Accufab makes a "Power Elbow" (doesn't add any power) that comes drilled and tapped already.

I drilled and tapped the aluminum intake elbow, All good now!

Thanks to all for your helpful replies!

I did the MAP hose first and my gauge was fluttering like crazy.
I'm getting very little if any from the aluminum intake elbow.
