Here's a message from Tüls:

there is a line that comes off the manifold right under the charge pipe on the right side... also, the fuel pressure regulator has a line as well you can use... in either case you will prolly need a Tee and extra line...

There's no way my hands fit into the space between the IM and FPR, so I usually disconnect the hose from the FPR and pull it out from the intake runners. The hose plugs back into the FPR easily.

Herbie, that is 15 in.Hg not psi. Boost guages usually read in Hg on vacuum and PSI on Boost.
