we talkin diesel i assume? some egr delete kits have a takeoff on them for the boost gauge, if not i drilled into the hard plastic boost pipe toward the rear of the engine on dsw88's polo, used a tyre valve through thatand a couple of bits to adapt it to the size of the pipe that comes with boost gauges, hes probably had it on over 15k or more without problem, i think i put it through somewhere around the passenger footwell area, theres probably somewhere closer to the drivers vent though but his were going in the dash above the stereo etc,
