Somewhere there is a post about a configurable digital display that plugs into the diagnostic socket - I believe you could display the boost on that as well as other data.

Search on some of those words, or perhaps somebody else has the link.

There should be a vaccuum line you can T a gauge from coming off the blow-off valve (by-pass valve) somewhere near the intercooler.

You don't need to tap into the vacuum lines. The boost figures are in the OBC. I use the ScanGaugeII. Bought it on ebay. See this thread for more info.
