Going to install new autometer boost gauge. Were is the best place to plumb it in. Can I use the rubber hose between turbo and waste gate next to the PPE blue thing.

I prefer to have the boost gauge hooked in as close to the engine as possible. The aluminum elbow that the cold side CAC tube connects to is a good place to drill and tap.

you can put it there, but its best to have it on the other side of the intercooler, the 2 readings will be a little different. the one on the engine side of the intercooler will tell you how much is actually going into the motor.
