Boost guage tap with vgs mod

Hello Guys, I know this has been covered plenty of times , but I cant seemed to find a good diagram,

So here's what I found from Andy's VGS mod,
Question, where's the best place to cut for the T for the boost gauge? ( green )
and I noticed i have a copper inside of one end of my T from Glowshift , I was thinking of getting a
+ (cross) adapter instead of having 2 T's.

thought?

Is that to add Pressure?

It really won't matter where in the system (bottom diagram) and yes a cross will work instead of 2 T's. The reason many use 2 T's, when doing both mods, is to simply connect the boost gauge T closer to the BPV for ease of installation, or to run a shorter line for logistical reasons, nothing more, doesn't matter where the tap is located.

JUST BE CERTAIN THE FPR CONNECTION IS TIGHT.
