I just T'd into the existing nipple on the intercooler of my Apex Stage-I with an adaptor T (different size nipples for different size hoses)... It's located between the #2-#3 throttle bodies and is used for the Fuel Controller signal... If you T into the intake manifold ports you will get vacuum and boost (good place to get your BOV signal) but I'm not sure if that would damage a gauge that was designed for pressure only or not... My 0-15psi VDO gauge is pressure only and not intended for use where vacuum is present... If you T into the intake manifolds you should use a gauge that is boost/vacuum compatible... Note that when you are reading boost off the intercooler the only time you get a manifold pressure reading is on a sustained wide-open-throttle run... Anything less than a sustained wide-open-throttle run and the throttle plates are reducing the airflow into the engine and you will only be "seeing" the intercooler pressure and not manifold pressure.
