If you have an '06 MCSc then you can use the FPR connection on the passenger (LHD) side on the inkake.



You will need a short piece of vac hose, ~1" to 1.5" long and a tee connecton, I don't know if your gauges came with a compatible fitting or not. I got mine at AZ because the AM supplied fitting wasn't quite right. You should be able to get at this connection without taking the IC off as you would need to do if you use the FPR end of this line.

No, don't cut it. I put mine on like this:

BOOST
|---------- FPR
INTAKE

with the short piece of Vac line between the tee and the intake.
