You have two options... Drill and tap the Y pipe just after the turbo or put a T in the map line...

you can also pull the IAH plug out and get the right adapter for your boost line

The boost gauge was the easiest for me. Just tap into your map line. Easy and you can make it clean looking with some wire ties and loom.
